Anna didn't report to the Twins' spring training complex Monday and informed the organization that he intends to retire, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a minor-league contract with the Twins in December, Anna had been scheduled to join the club as a non-roster invitee at spring training. While Anna was never likely to seriously contend for an Opening Day gig with the Twins, it was expected that he would play a key role in the infield for Triple-A Rochester this season. The prospect of another year on the farm apparently wasn't too appealing to the 32-year-old, who elected to call an end to a career that included brief stints in the majors with the Yankees and Cardinals in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Anna reached a minor-league agreement with Minnesota on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Zone Coverage reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anna has exclusively spent the past three seasons at the Triple-A level and has only appeared in 13 big-league games in his professional career. The 32-year-old slashed .271/.367/.341 with one home run, 34 RBI and nine stolen bases for Lehigh Valley in the Phillies' system this past year, and will provide middle infield depth for the Twins moving forward.

Anna was traded to Philadelphia on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anna appeared in 114 games at the Triple-A level last season for Omaha within the Royals' system, slashing .285/.364/.376 with five home runs and 33 RBI. He will likely report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the start of the 2018 campaign.

Anna signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Monday, according to his personal Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

For the second season in a row, the 31-year-old utility man spent all year in the minors, hitting .285/.364/.376 across 112 games for Triple-A Omaha. Anna hasn't made it back to the majors since he appeared one game for the Cardinals back in 2015; he owns a paltry .130/.192/.302 career slash-line across 13 major-league games. He'll be viewed as an organizational depth piece in 2018.

Anna signed a minor league contract with the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Anna batted .266 in 383 plate appearances over 106 games with Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals' system last season. He has made just 26 career plate appearances in the majors, so he isn't a likely candidate for a spot in Kansas City. Expect him to serve as organizational depth.

Anna was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Anna had be serving as organizational depth at the Triple-A level, but the team needed his 40-man roster spot to execute multiple activations Sunday morning. He hasn't seen much action in the majors over the past few seasons anyway, and posted a .685 OPS for the Redbirds this year over 106 games.

Anna was assigned to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anna was a long shot to make the majors out of spring training, and the Cardinals' signing of Ruben Tejada on Saturday only further complicated matters for the 29-year-old. He'll likely spend the bulk of the campaign at Memphis, and doesn't look to be much more than organizational depth for the Cardinals.

Anna went 1-2 with an RBI in Wednesday's spring training matchup with Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Anna has had 10 at-bats this spring, scoring four runs and stealing two bases. The 29-year-old shortstop only has 23 career at-bats in the majors, compiling a .136 average during that time. Seeing as how the Cardinals have three shortstops ahead of Anna on their depth chart, he will likely start the 2016 season at Triple-A Memphis where he left off last season.

Anna was optioned back to Triple-A Memphis on Friday. With Peter Bourjos coming off the paternity list, the Cardinals no longer required Anna's services as a depth option off the bench. He would be one of the first options to be recalled should another injury come to a player on the 25-man roster.

Anna was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday. Anna will take Randal Grichuk's spot on the 25-man roster, as he was placed on the disabled list retroactive to April 17 with a lower-back strain. He's spent most of his career in the minors, but saw a brief stint with the Yankees last season. Anna will serve as a bench player with the ability to play both shortstop and second base, though he has also seen small amounts of time in the outfield during his time in the minors.
