Leon signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Leon was released by the Royals in late March after going 2-for-17 during spring training. He'll now offer Atlanta organizational depth behind the plate, but the chances of him contributing to the big-league club are extremely low.

The Royals released Leon on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Leon wasn't able to win a spot in Kansas City's catcher room after going just 2-for-17 while striking out seven times this spring. The 35-year-old backstop will now attempt to latch on with another organization, likely on a minor-league deal.

Leon signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Leon has Salvador Perez and Freddy Fermin ahead of him on the depth chart, so he'll begin the 2024 season at Triple-A Omaha unless the Royals opt to carry three catchers. Slated to turn 35 in March, Leon got into 21 games with the Rangers in 2023, going just 6-for-41 at the plate.

Leon signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After being released by the Rangers June 21, Leon will head to Columbus to join the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate. Leon has only played in four minor-league games this season -- going 3-for-11 with an RBI -- and will serve as an organizational depth piece going forward.

Leon was released by the Rangers on Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Having been outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock earlier this month, Leon requested his release and it was ultimately granted. The veteran catcher slashed just .146/.186/.195 in 21 games (44 plate appearances) this year for Texas prior to losing his 40-man roster spot.

Leon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Leon served as Texas' backup catcher for the first two and a half months of the season but only came to the plate 44 times. His .146/.186/.195 slash line and 45.5 percent strikeout rate make it easy to see why he failed to earn any more opportunities.

Leon was designated for assignment Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leon retained his spot after Mitch Garver returned from the injured list earlier in June, but he's now being sent out in favor of Sam Huff as the Rangers swap out third catchers. The veteran backstop is just 6-for-41 at the plate this season.

Leon went 0-for-2 in Friday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Leon guided Jon Gray through seven scoreless innings before being replaced by Jonah Heim. For now, Leon survived the return of Mitch Garver from the injured list. Once Ezequiel Duran (oblique) is ready, Leon's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

The Rangers selected Leon's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Leon will serve as Jonah Heim's backup while Mitch Garver (knee) is sidelined. The 34-year-old has a career .592 OPS over parts of 11 major-league seasons.

Leon re-signed with the Rangers on a minor-league contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leon requested and was given his release Monday but is quickly back in the organization on a re-worked deal. The veteran catcher will give the club some quality depth at Triple-A Round Rock.
