Atlanta released Nola on Tuesday so that he can become the Mariners' bullpen coach, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola appeared in 15 MLB games for the Rockies in 2025, going just 7-for-38 (.184) at the plate while driving in one run and scoring two runs. He signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta in October but will now trade in his catcher's gear for a place on Seattle's coaching staff. Assuming his playing days are now over, the 35-year-old will finish his MLB career with a .247/.323/.364 slash line along with 24 homers, 137 RBI and 127 runs scored over six years in the big leagues.

Atlanta signed Nola to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola got into 14 games with the Rockies in 2025, going just 7-for-38 at the plate. The 35-year-old could get a chance to compete for the backup catcher job if Atlanta winds up trading Sean Murphy, but Nola will most likely offer experienced organizational depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Rockies outrighted Nola to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nola passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as veteran catching depth. The 35-year-old has put up a .436 OPS over 14 games at the big-league level in 2025.

The Rockies designated Nola for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies have been carrying three catchers for most of this month, but they will now go back to two backstops as Nola gets booted off the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Nola had played sparingly lately and will have the ability to elect free agency if he passes through waivers.

The Rockies selected Nola's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are swapping out backup catchers, with Nola taking Braxton Fulford's spot on the roster. Nola was hitting .347/.411/.474 with one home run in 26 contests with Albuquerque and will see the occasional start at catcher on days when Hunter Goodman is resting or serving as the designated hitter.

Nola signed a minor-league deal Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training with the Rockies, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nola was in the Royals' organization in 2024 and spent about a week in the majors without appearing in a game. With Drew Romo and Jacob Stallings in the mix, it's unlikely that Nola will play a significant role for the Rockies in 2025.

The Royals outrighted Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nola cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 34-year-old has spent all of 2024 at Omaha, slashing just .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games.

Nola was designated for assignment by the Royals on Saturday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City acquired outfielders Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman via waivers, and Nola was one of the 40-man casualties along with CJ Alexander. Nola surprised many with his initial success with the Mariners in 2019, but he's struggled to carve out consistent playing time in the majors in the years since. The 34-year-old has posted an ugly .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games with Triple-A Omaha this season.

The Royals optioned Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old was called up by Kansas City last weekend but will lose his place on the 26-man roster as Hunter Renfroe (toe) returns from the injured list. Nola didn't see game action while up with the Royals.

The Royals recalled Nola from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Salvador Perez battling a knee injury, Nola will join the big-league roster to provide catching depth behind Freddy Fermin. While it's unclear how long Perez will be sidelined, Nola should be in the mix to make his 2024 MLB debut in the coming days.
