Kelly announced Sunday via his personal Twitter account that he signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
After briefly retiring in 2019, Kelly elected to resume his career in 2021 in independent ball. He eventually caught on with the Mariners on a minor-league deal, appearing in 22 games last season for the organization's Triple-A affiliate and posting a .670 OPS over 90 plate appearances. Kelly will presumably report to Triple-A Oklahoma City with his new organization once the minor-league season gets underway.

Kelly came out of retirement to sign with the Kansas City Monarchs of the independent American Association on Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly announced his retirement back in 2019, but it appears he's not quite done with the sport after all. Whether or not this is the start of an attempt to return to the MLB level remains to be seen, but as a 32-year-old with a career .203/.288/.323 slash line in 188 plate appearances at the highest level, it would be a surprise to see him have much of an impact down the line.

Kelly announced Sunday via his personal Twitter account that he has elected to retire from professional baseball.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old utility man had spent the 2019 campaign in the Angels organization, appearing exclusively at Triple-A Salt Lake and batting .246 with one home run and three steals. Kelly had previously logged time in the big leagues with the Mets and Phillies between 2016 and 2018, slashing .203/.288/.323 in 188 plate appearances spanning 118 games.

Kelly signed a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training with the Angels on Tuesday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly had a brief stint in the majors with the Mets in 2018, but spent the bulk of the season at Triple-A Las Vegas where he slashed .259/.348/.416 with eight home runs. The 30-year-old should provide depth as an utility infielder for the Angels.

Kelly was called up to the Mets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly was up for three days back in June but did not see any action. He's up again after Todd Frazier (ribs) hit the disabled list. He'll likely fill a utility role during his time with the team.

Kelly was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly only spent a couple days with the team after being recalled from the minors Tuesday, and he didn't wind up seeing any game action while with the Mets on this brief stay in the big leagues. The utility man was cast off the active roster in order to make room for Wilmer Flores, who was reinstated from the 10-day DL (back) in a corresponding move.

The Mets purchased Kelly's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Tuesday's game against the Braves, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly didn't appear in Tuesday's contest and remains out of the lineup for the series finale Wednesday. The 29-year-old switch hitter is expected to serve in a utility role during his time with the Mets and doesn't project to receive many at-bats.

The Mets reassigned Kelly to their minor-league camp Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly amassed 105 plate appearances with the Mets and Phillies last season, but with Wilmer Flores and Jose Reyes earmarked for utility infield roles, the 29-year-old was a long shot to crack the Opening Day roster. He'll instead serve as organizational depth at Triple-A Las Vegas to open the 2018 season.
