The Rockies signed Sullivan to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan spent nearly all of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level between the Padres and Pirates organization, slashing only .207/.264/.325 in 75 contests. A career .204/.250/.291 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons, Sullivan will turn 32 in February and is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Sullivan signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday and has been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan was DFA'd by the Pirates on Monday and eventually outrighted to Indianapolis. While he'll remain at Triple-A, Sullivan has been re-added to the 40-man roster.

The Pirates outrighted Sullivan to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan has cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster. He has been outrighted previously, so the catcher has the ability to elect free agency if he wants.

The Pirates designated Sullivan for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The club needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dauri Moreta (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Booting Sullivan from the active roster suggests the Pirates are preparing for Joey Bart (concussion) to be activated prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit.

The Pirates selected Sullivan's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Endy Rodriguez (elbow) placed on the 10-day injured list and Joey Bart still in the concussion protocol, Sullivan will be brought up to serve as the Pirates' backup catcher behind Henry Davis. Sullivan was acquired by the Pirates in April from the Padres, and he has a .211/.350/.324 with two steals, one home run and 10 RBI across 76 plate appearances with Indianapolis.

Sullivan has been added to the Pirates' taxi squad, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan has joined the team in Pittsburgh and could be added to the active roster if Joey Bart (back) needs a trip to the injured list. The 29-year-old was acquired from the Padres via trade Wednesday and is not on the 40-man roster.

The Pirates acquired Sullivan from the Padres on Wednesday in exchange for Bryce Johnson and cash considerations, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Endy Rodriguez (finger) on the 10-day injured list and Joey Bart (back) banged up, the Pirates were looking to supplement their catching depth. Sullivan has a career .542 OPS over parts of two big-league seasons. He is not on the 40-man roster and should report to Triple-A Indianapolis for the time being.

The Padres outrighted Sullivan to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan was designated for assignment last week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will remain in the organization. He will represent catching depth at El Paso.

Sullivan was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

San Diego's catching situation is ambiguous, but Sullivan lost out on a roster spot to a combination of Martin Maldonado, Elias Diaz and Luis Campusano. Sullivan has accrued 103 plate appearances across the last two seasons in the majors and could continue to serve as organizational depth for the club.

The Padres optioned Sullivan to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sullivan will end up as the odd man out of San Diego's roster following the return of Xander Bogaerts (shoulder), who was reinstated from the IL on Friday. Sullivan was rarely able to see the field while behind Luis Campusano and Kyle Higashioka on the depth chart, appearing in just four games since being recalled from the minors June 22. He'll now serve as organizational depth as he returns to Triple-A.
