Mitchell signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was released by the White Sox on Saturday after putting up a .259 OPS in 27 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. He'll now get another chance in the Giants organization, but they'll bump him down to Double-A Richmond in an effort to jumpstart his bat against lower-level competition. Even if he finds a groove offensively, he doesn't project as anything more than minor-league depth for his new club.

The White Sox reassigned Mitchell to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Mitchell didn't see any big-league action in 2024 after previously appearing in 71 games for the Pirates between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the White Sox gave him plenty of opportunities this spring to stake his claim to a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old couldn't capitalize, however, slashing just .200/.192/.320 with 11 strikeouts in 26 Cactus League plate appearances. Mitchell is expected to open the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

Mitchell spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign at Triple-A El Paso in the Padres organization, slashing .277/.359/.512 with 22 home runs and 12 stolen bases. Slated to turn 26 in March, Mitchell will compete for a reserve outfielder role in Chicago.

The Padres reassigned Mitchell to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was attending camp as a non-roster invitee but didn't do enough in spring training to make a legitimate run at an Opening Day roster spot, as he slashed .227/.280/.455 over 11 Cactus League games. He's likely to begin the season with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate in El Paso.

Mitchell signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Wednesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell spent the vast majority of 2023 with the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate, slashing .261/.333/.414 with 55 RBI across 316 plate appearances. With a .626 OPS across 237 major-league plate appearances in his career, Mitchell's role with San Diego will likely be limited to organizational depth.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell played in 69 games during his first taste of the big leagues last year and had a .226/.286/.349 slash line with five home runs and three steals. He won't open 2023 on the MLB roster, with Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Andrew McCutchen (elbow) poised to operate as the Pirates' primary outfielders.

Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Tuesday against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell took Tarik Skubal yard in the fourth inning to record his second home run in as many games. He's among several prospects the Pirates have promoted in recent weeks, but he both remained in the lineup and had success against a tough southpaw pitcher. Mitchell has shown plenty of pop early in his big-league career, tallying five extra-base hits across 42 plate appearances.
