Reinheimer signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Friday and will report to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer last played in affiliated ball in 2021 as part of the Mariners' organization. He's spent the bulk of 2022 and 2023 with the Gastonia Honey Hunters in the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, where he owns a .289/.377/.462 slash line with 17 home runs, 88 RBI, 78 stolen bases and 133 runs scored over 162 games. He'll serve as organizational infield depth for the Royals for now.

Reinheimer signed with Seattle as a non-roster invitee Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer has appeared in 23 games at the highest level, hitting .143/.250/.143 in 40 trips to the plate. His last big-league experience came back in 2018. His defensive versatility will help him push for a bench spot as a utility man, but he's unlikely to wind up in a significant role.

Reinheimer was released by the Twins on Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer spent time with the Twins' 60-man roster to begin the season, but he didn't do enough to warrant consideration for the major-league roster. He'll now hit free agency after slashing .246/.323/.336 with four home runs and 12 stolen bases with Triple-A Norfolk last year.

Reinheimer was included in Minnesota's 60-man player pool ahead of summer camp before the 2020 season begins, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old spent last season with Triple-A Norfolk, where he recorded a .246/.323/.336 slash line with four home runs and 12 stolen bases over 106 games. Reinheimer has logged limited time in the majors during past seasons, so he'll give the Twins some veteran depth at Minnesota's alternate training site.

Reinheimer signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old spent last season with Triple-A Norfolk, where he recorded a .246/.323/.336 slash line with four home runs and 12 stolen bases over 106 games. Reinheimer has logged limited time in the majors during past seasons, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's a non-roster invitee for spring training in 2020.

Reinheimer cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheim was claimed off waivers by the Orioles in late January, but he failed to stay on the 40-man roster more than a couple weeks. He wound up clearing waivers this time, however, so he'll stay in the Orioles' organization with their Triple-A squad. At this point, his limited big-league success and inability to stay on the 40-man roster suggests he'll simply be an organizational depth piece in 2019.

Reinheim was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer will take a spin through waivers for the fourth time this offseason. The 26-year-old utility infielder hit a combined .257/.324/.377 with five homers and 13 stolen bases in 69 games on the farm in 2018 (primarily at Triple-A). Reinheimer has also made brief appearances in the majors in each of the past two seasons, though his .143/.250/.143 triple-slash through 40 plate appearances during those stints is nothing to write home about.

Reinheim was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer is set to join his fourth club this offseason. The utility infielder spent the majority of 2018 at Triple-A, hitting a combined .257/.324/.377 with five homers and 13 stolen bases in 69 games. He also made 21 appearances at the major-league level, slashing just .167/.286/.167 in 35 plate appearances. Look for Reinheimer to serve as organizational depth in 2019.

Reinheimer was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After the Rangers signed Asdrubal Cabrera to a one-year contract, a 40-man roster spot needed to be cleared to make the move official. Reinheimer wound up being the roster casualty after spending the past couple months in the Rangers organization. The 26-year-old infielder will be exposed to waivers once again, though even if he does get claimed by another team, he likely won't be anything more than an organizational depth piece given his lack of success at the major-league level.

Reinheimer was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from the Cubs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Reinheimer was picked up by the Cubs in early November off waivers, but he'll change teams yet again. The 26-year-old shortstop appeared in 25 games for the Mets in 2018 and struggled to a .167/.286/.167 slash line with a stolen base and five walks in 30 at-bats.
