The Royals reassigned O'Keefe to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe was attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee but didn't make much of a push for a spot on the Opening Day roster with Salvador Perez and Freddy Fermin both emerging from spring training fully healthy. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Omaha and serve as organizational catching depth for the second season in a row.

O'Keefe signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe was with the Twins during spring training but was released before the season. The 30-year-old catcher saw some brief action in the majors with the Mariners over the previous two seasons and will give the Royals some experienced depth at Triple-A Omaha.

O'Keefe signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe saw spot duty with the Mariners each of the previous two seasons, going 3-for-22 at the plate. The 30-year-old will provide the Twins with some catching depth at Triple-A St. Paul.

O'Keefe was sent outright Tuesday to Triple-A Tacoma after passing through waivers unclaimed.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday and drew no interest from other teams. The 30-year-old catcher has slashed .136/.240/.227 in 25 career plate appearances at the major-league level.

The Mariners designated O'Keefe for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe was booted off the Mariners' 40-man roster in order to make room for Kaleb Ort (elbow), who was claimed off waivers from Boston on Friday. O'Keefe is just 3-for-22 with two RBI across his major-league career, though his .238/.328/.504 Triple-A slash line from 2023 could get him claimed by another team in need of depth behind the plate.

O'Keefe was activated from the paternity leave list and optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Luis Torrens took O'Keefe's spot on the roster earlier this week and the Mariners have elected to keep the former around as Cal Raleigh's backup. It allows Seattle to retain catching depth, as Torrens cannot be optioned and could've been lost on waivers.

O'Keefe was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe only has 19 at-bats since his contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 16. Luis Torrens was selected from Triple-A to serve as Cal Raleigh's backup in the short term.

The Mariners reassigned O'Keefe to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe made his big-league debut with Seattle at 29 years old in 2022, appearing in two games for the club. He was non-tendered after the season and brought back on a minor-league deal, but O'Keefe is unlikely to get another look in Seattle unless the team's catching depth is seriously tested in 2023.

O'Keefe re-signed with the Mariners on a minor-league contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He's presumably been given an invitation to big-league spring training. O'Keefe reached the majors for the first time in 2022 as a 29-year-old, seeing action in two games with the M's. He's likely to spend most of 2023 at Triple-A Tacoma again.

The Mariners declined to tender O'Keefe a contract for 2023, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Keefe served as a depth catcher at Triple-A for most of last season, seeing only brief action with the big club at the very end of the campaign. He has posted some interested numbers for a catcher during him time in the minors, but he's already 29. The clock is ticking.
