Wolters announced his retirement from baseball via his personal Instagram page Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters spent the entire 2023 campaign at Triple-A St. Paul and has decided to call it a career ahead of the 2024 season. The 31-year-old spent parts of seven seasons in the majors and hit .235 with seven homers, 131 runs, 123 RBI and six steals.

The Twins reassigned Wolters to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rough spring for Wolters as he recorded just one hit in 20 at-bats with seven strikeouts. He will likely spend the vast majority of the season in the minors, only to be called up if the Twins' depth behind the plate is ever tested.

Wolters signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's presumably been given a non-roster invitation to the major-league side of spring training. Wolters has seen bit of action in the big leagues across seven seasons, although not extensively since his days with the Rockies from 2016-20.

Wolters re-signed Tuesday with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters was cut loose last week shortly after being removed from the Dodgers' 40-man roster, but after evaluating his options on the open market, he'll stick around in the organization. The 30-year-old will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City and should rank near the top of the list for a promotion if the Dodgers should lose fellow catchers Will Smith or Austin Barnes for any length of time.

Wolters was released by the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters joined the Dodgers on a minor-league deal last August and had a brief stint with the big-league club last weekend, but he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts prior to being designated for assignment. The 30-year-old will seek out opportunities elsewhere after going unclaimed on waivers.

Wolters was designated for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters filled in for fellow catcher Austin Barnes while he tended to a personal matter, but Barnes was added back to the roster Monday and Wolters was removed from it. If he clears waivers, he will have the option to remain with the Dodgers or seek another opportunity elsewhere.

Wolters' contract was selected by the Dodgers on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters will serve as the backup catcher behind WIll Smith while Austin Barnes is on the bereavement list. Wolters has hit .236/.322/.315 in 405 major-league games, split across parts of six seasons.

The Dodgers reassigned Wolters to minor-league camp Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Los Angeles isn't expected to carry a third catcher on the Opening Day roster behind Will Smith and Austin Barnes, so Wolters never appeared especially likely to break camp with the big club. The 29-year-old re-signed with the Dodgers on a minor-league deal in December after he initially joined the organization last August following his release from the Cubs. Before being let go by the Cubs, Wolters received 30 plate appearances from the big club in 2021, logging a .125/.276/.125 slash line.

Wolters signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolters had been in the Cubs' organization until he was released Monday. He appeared in 14 major-league games but struggled to a .125/.276/.125 slash line, dropping his career wRC+ at the big-league level to 57. He fared much better in 37 games for Triple-A Iowa, hitting .265/.385/.407, but he's unlikely to be anything more than an organizational depth option for his new club.

Wolters cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was designated for assignment by the Cubs earlier in the week, but he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Wolters appeared in 14 games before being cast off the 40-man roster and went 3-for-25 with five walks, three runs and 12 strikeouts.
