EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old backstop slashed .255/.299/.358 with two home runs and three stolen bases across 147 plate appearances at Reno before being cut loose. Graterol may be running out of time to catch on with another organization before the end of the 2022 campaign.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Graterol to minor-league camp Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Graterol was one of three players sent to minor-league camp as Arizona pared down its group at big-league camp to 34 with Opening Day four days away. The 33-year-old catcher, who last saw MLB action with the Reds in 2019, is expected to begin the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Reno.

Graterol was acquired by the Blue Jays from the Angels on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old spent spring training with the Halos and was reassigned to minor-league camp last week. Graterol last appeared in six games for the Reds in 2019 and went 4-for-18, and he'll provide organizational depth behind the plate for the Blue Jays at the alternate training site.

Graterol was assigned to minor-league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Graterol signed a minor-league deal with the Angels in November, but was unable to crack the roster. In 10 Cactus League plate appearances, he managed a .300/.300/.400 line.

Graterol and the Angels agreed to a minor-league deal Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graterol made his big-league debut for the Angels back in 2016 and has played 58 of his 67 career games at the highest level with the team. Nothing the 31-year-old has shown thus far suggests he deserves even a backup spot in the majors, as he's hit just .218/.227/.266 with zero homers, so he'll likely serve an organizational depth role this season.

Graterol was included in Minnesota's 60-man player pool ahead of summer camp before the 2020 season begins, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 58 games with Triple-A Louisville last year, Graterol hit .249/.301/.325 with two home runs and 26 RBI. He'll be on the 60-man roster for his glove and add veteran catcher depth at Minnesota's alternate training site.

Graterol signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old entered free agency after being designated for assignment by the Reds, and he will return to Minnesota, where he spent part of the 2018 season. In 58 games with Triple-A Louisville last year, Graterol hit .249/.301/.325 with two home runs and 26 RBI.

Graterol declared for free agency Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Graterol accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville last week but apparently had a change of heart on the matter after meeting with the Reds' brass. The 30-year-old catcher is now free to test the open market but will more than likely have to settle for a minor-league deal if he wishes to keep his career going.

Graterol cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's no surprise to see a 30-year-old with just 67 career major-league games under his belt go unclaimed. He'll remain as organizational depth for the Reds.

Graterol was designated for assignment by the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Graterol looks like a third catcher at best, appearing in just 67 games through his age-30 season and hitting just .218/.227/.266 in those contests. The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the Reds to claim Josh Smith off waivers from the Marlins.
