The Tigers reassigned Bemboom to minor-league camp Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom was in camp as another catcher to throw to, but he wasn't going to make the roster as long as Jake Rogers and Carson Kelly were healthy. The 34-year-old will provide some experienced depth at Toledo.

Bemboom signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom entered free agency in the offseason after two seasons with Baltimore, where he slashed .127/.225/.206 across 72 total plate appearances. Given Bemboom's poor major-league history, he likely won't offer the Tigers much more than organizational depth behind the dish.

Bemboom cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom could have elected free agency, but he's accepted the outright assignment and will remain in the Orioles organization. The 33-year-old has a career .496 OPS over parts of five major-league seasons.

Bemboom was designated for assignment Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom stuck around briefly as a third catcher following James McCann's return, but the Orioles have now decided they have a better use for the roster spot. Because he was already outrighted earlier this season, Bemboom can elect free agency if he wants, assuming he clears waivers again.

The Orioles selected Bemboom's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom was up briefly with the O's earlier this season, reaching base once in three plate appearances. He'll operate as Adley Rutschman's backup while James McCann (ankle) is out.

Bemboom cleared waivers Thursday and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Orioles. The 33-year-old catcher owns a career .158/.233/.262 batting line in 206 plate appearances at the major-league level.

Bemboom was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore kept three catchers around for a few days after James McCann returned from the injured list last weekend, but the team will now go back to the traditional two-catcher alignment. Bemboom will go through the waiver process, with the O's likely hoping he clears so he can stay around as depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles selected Bemboom's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom appeared set to serve as organizational catching depth at Norfolk to open the season, but he'll end up serving as the No. 2 backstop behind Adley Rutschman after James McCann suffered an oblique strain late last week and was placed on the 10-day injured list. Until McCann is deemed ready to rejoin the big club, expect Bemboom to pick up only one or two starts per week behind the dish while Rutschman shoulders a heavy workload.

Bemboom was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom signed a one-year split deal with Baltimore in October, and his sights are now set on competing for the backup catching job behind Adley Rutschman. He'll compete in spring training with Cam Gallagher, who was scooped up in mid-September off waivers.

Bemboom signed a one-year split contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal allows Bemboom to compete for a spot as a backup catcher on the Orioles' Opening Day roster while giving him some extra money if he ends up opening the season at Triple-A Norfolk. The 32-year-old Bemboom saw action in 22 games with Baltimore in 2022, slashing .115/.207/.212 across 59 plate appearances.
