During the 2010 season, the Red Sox traded McGuiness with Román Méndez to the Texas Rangers for Jarrod Saltalamacchia. After the 2012 season, McGuiness competed in the Arizona Fall League, and was named the circuit's most valuable player. The Cleveland Indians selected McGuiness in the 2012 Rule 5 draft. In spring training, the Indians tested McGuiness in the outfield to increase his versatility. Rather than add McGuiness on their active roster, the Indians returned McGuiness to the Rangers at the end of spring training. McGuinness was the everyday first baseman for the Frisco Roughriders of the Class AA Texas League for the 2012 season, hitting .268 with 23 home runs and 77 RBIs in 123 games.
