  • Mariners acquire catcher Seby Zavala from D-backs
    Mariners acquired C Seby Zavala and RHP Carlos Vargas from the Diamondbacks for 3B Eugenio Suárez.

    Advice: Zavala spent most of the last three years backing up Yasmani Grandal with the White Sox, but the Diamondbacks claimed him off waivers in September. He’ll bring a career .210/.275/.347 triple-slash line with him to a third team in Seattle. He’ll most likely be Cal Raleigh’s backup next year. However, it’s possible the team will add competition later. He’s a solid defender and is just one season removed from posting a .729 OPS in 205 plate appearances during the 2022 campaign.

  • Headed to Seattle
    The Mariners acquired Zavala from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday along with Carlos Vargas in exchange for Eugenio Suarez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Zavala was a waiver claim by the Diamondbacks in September but made just four starts during his three and a half weeks with the team. The 30-year-old catcher has a career .622 OPS over parts of four major-league seasons spent mostly with the White Sox. He could open 2024 as Cal Raleigh's backup. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:55 am

  • Report: Mariners acquiring catcher Seby Zavala
    The Mariners are getting Seby Zavala from the Diamondbacks, according to USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale.

    Advice: Nightengale has since added that this is part of a bigger deal. The Diamondbacks plucked Zavala off waivers from the White Sox in September, but they apparently weren’t interested in going forward with him as Gabriel Moreno’s backup. He’ll probably back up Cal Raleigh instead, though the Mariners could still upgrade if something falls into their laps. Rotoworld Wednesday, 10:51 am

  • Back with Atlanta
    Atlanta re-signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

    Advice: Tromp was non-tendered by Atlanta last week but will return to the organization. The 28-year-old catcher has put up a .640 OPS with five home runs over 102 plate appearances at the major-league level. He'll likely begin 2024 at Triple-A Gwinnett. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:34 am

  • Braves re-sign non-tendered catcher Tromp
    Braves re-signed C Chadwick Tromp to a minor league contract.

    Advice: Tromp was non-tendered by Atlanta last week. He’ll again be the likely callup from Triple-A if the Braves lose a catcher at any point next year. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:16 am

  • Royals re-sign C Logan Porter
    Royals re-signed C Logan Porter.

    Advice: It’s no surprise to see Porter back with Kansas City on a new pact just a few hours after being non-tendered. The 28-year-old catcher provides some emergency catching depth heading into 2024 after getting into 11 contests this past season for the Royals. Rotoworld Nov 18, 6:38 am

  • Back with KC on MiLB deal
    Porter signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Saturday.

    Advice: After being non-tendered by the Royals on Friday, Carter will officially remain with the organization. The 28-year-old backstop spent most of his time at Triple-A Omaha last season, slashing .232/.339/.377 with 13 homers and 48 RBI. Rotowire.com Nov 18, 6:28 am

  • Phillies avoid arbitration with C Garrett Stubbs
    Phillies and C Garrett Stubbs avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.

    Advice: Stubbs has blossomed into an essential clubhouse presence for the Phillies over the last few years while sticking around as J.T. Realmuto’s primary caddy. He’ll remain in that limited role for next season as well. Rotoworld Nov 18, 3:59 am
     
  • Reaches agreement with Phils
    Stubbs avoided arbitration Friday with the Phillies on a one-year contract.

    Advice: Stubbs slashed just .204/.274/.283 over 41 regular-season games in 2023 and drew only one postseason plate appearance, but he's a beloved backup catcher and will return in that role in 2024. Rotowire.com Nov 17, 9:31 pm
