The Marlins re-signed Navarreto to a minor-league contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Navarreto elected free agency last month after being outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster, but he's found his way back into the organization. The 30-year-old got into eight games with Miami in 2025, going 4-for-14 with one home run. Navarreto is likely pegged for Triple-A Jacksonville to begin the 2026 campaign.

Navarreto elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Navarreto spent the majority of the 2025 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, where he slashed .224/.300/.385 with 27 RBI and 22 runs scored across 180 plate appearances. The 30-year-old backstop will most likely sign another minor-league contract during the offseason.

The Marlins outrighted Navarreto to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Having been outrighted before, Navarreto can reject Wednesday's outright assignment and become a free agent if he wants. The catcher went 4-for-14 at the dish during his brief time with Miami in 2025.

Navarreto launched a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game in the eighth inning with the Marlins getting routed 9-1, Navarreto got hold of a Tanner Banks fastball for his first career big-league homer. It was the first appearance for the 30-year-old backstop since he was added to the roster at the beginning of September, and his playing time will likely remain scarce with Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks getting most of the catcher reps for Miami.

The Marlins selected Navarreto's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Navarreto last appeared in the big leagues back in 2020, appearing in two games with the Marlins that season. The 30-year-old catcher slashed .229/.301/.392 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 16:39 BB:K across 176 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2025 and will provide the Marlins with a third option behind the plate in September.

The Marlins signed Navarreto to a minor-league contract Friday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He did not receive an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Navarreto, 30, put up a .565 OPS over 40 games at Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization in 2024. His only major-league experience came with the Marlins during a two-game cup of coffee in 2020.

Navarreto signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday which includes an invite to major-league spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Navarreto spent the 2022 campaign at Milwaukee's Triple-A level, and he'll return to the organization for 2023. He had a .262/.317/.362 slash line with four home runs in 43 games last season and should serve as organizational catching depth.

Navarreto re-signed Sunday with the Marlins on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
When Miami's depth at catcher was thinned during the 2020 season, Navarreto was called up from the alternate training site in late August to make his MLB debut. He ended up appearing in two games before being cast off the 40-man roster. Though Navarreto will get the opportunity to compete for the No. 2 catcher job with the big club in spring training, he's more likely to open the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville or Double-A Pensacola.

Navarreto was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Navarreto appeared in just two games during his time on the active roster and went 2-for-5 with one strikeout. However, he'll be cast off the 40-man roster after Chad Wallach (undisclosed) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
