Goodrum retired from professional baseball Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum had been playing with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization, where he had posted a .791 OPS in 12 games this season. The 33-year-old was a career .224/.297/.383 hitter over parts of seven major-league seasons, although he had not seen extensive action at the big-league level since 2021.

The Mets signed Goodrum to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum was with the Padres in spring training but was released after failing to crack their Opening Day roster. The 33-year-old will provide the Mets with some veteran utility depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Padres reassigned Goodrum to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum will likely open the season at Triple-A El Paso, where he'll presumably serve as a utility man. The 33-year-old logged 33 plate appearances at the big-league level in 2024 between stops with the Rays and Angels, slashing .103/.188/.103 with one stolen base.

Goodrum signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum had productive seasons from 2018-2020 but has played minimally in the majors since 2021. He'll likely serve as versatile organizational depth for the Padres, though he could grab a handful of plate appearances in the big leagues.

The Orioles agreed to terms on a minor-league contract with Goodrum on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum has bounced around since the end of last season, as the Orioles will be his fifth organization since the start of spring training. The utility infielder has a .103/.188/.103 slash line across 13 games in the majors this season.

Goodrum elected free agency Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Monday but denied the assignment in favor of free agency. The 32-year-old has also spent time with the Angels and Rays this year, but he's submitted a .291 OPS and a 30.3 percent strikeout rate in the majors.

The Pirates outrighted Goodrum to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum cleared waivers after being designated for assignment. He has the option of electing free agency, but it's not clear at this point whether he will do that or accept an outright assignment.

The Pirates designated Goodrum for assignment Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pittsburgh claimed Goodrum Monday, but he'll return to waivers Friday after going 2-for-15 with seven strikeouts in four appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates are Goodrum's third stop of the season, starting the year with Tampa Bay before spending time in the Angels system. In 33 MLB plate appearances this season, Goodrum owns a .291 OPS.

The Pirates claimed Goodrum off waivers and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum was DFA'd by the Angels after being optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on May 16, where he has gone 5-for-25 with a 30 percent strikeout rate. To make room for Goodrum, Pittsburgh designated right-hander Ben Heller for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Angels optioned Goodrum to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodrum was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay last Thursday, and he went 0-for-13 in four games with the Angels. He will now return to the minors, making room for Luis Rengifo's (illness) return from the injured list. It's possible Goodrum returns later this year if the Angels continue to struggle with infield depth, but he has proven to be an offensive liability throughout his seven-year career in MLB.
