Godley signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Godley had been pitching with the independent league Gastonia Honey Hunters. The 33-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since 2021 and hasn't seen extensive action at the big-league level since 2019.

Godley signed a contract Tuesday with the Gastonia Honey Hunters of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

EDGE Analysis

After the Reds released him from his minor-league deal in late May, Godley was unable to find another opportunity in affiliated ball, so he'll head to the independent ranks to continue his downward-trending career. Since turning in a 3.55 ERA over 155 innings with the Diamondbacks in 2017, Godley has spent time in six organizations while logging a 5.57 ERA across 302.1 innings in the majors over parts of the past five years.

Godley was released by the Reds on Wednesday, Doug Gray of RedsMinorLeagues.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Godley joined the Reds on a minor-league deal in February, but he's now been let go less than two months into the season. The veteran right-hander had a 6.64 ERA, 2.19 WHIP and 26:19 K:BB across 20.1 innings with Triple-A Lousiville.

Godley signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Godley made two major-league appearances for the Brewers last year but pitched mainly at the Triple-A level. Across 21 appearances (18 starts) in the minors during the 2021 campaign, he logged a 4.39 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 98.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander invited to big-league spring training if it occurs in 2022.

The Mets released Godley on Monday, Steve Adams of MLBTradeRumors.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Godley's stint in the Mets organization lasted just three weeks. He made four appearances for Triple-A Syracuse, compiling a 2.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 19.1 innings. He's now been cut loose from three organizations in the past two months after previously getting released by Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Cleveland released Godley on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After declining an assignment to the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate when Milwaukee dropped him from its 40-man roster in late June, Godley quickly linked up on a minor-league deal with Cleveland. The 31-year-old right-hander was hoping to parlay a strong showing at Triple-A Columbus into a promotion back to the big leagues, but that never materialized. He was cut loose after posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 24 innings over six starts with Columbus.

Godley joined Cleveland on a minor-league deal Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Godley has allowed six earned runs in 3.1 innings this season and owns a 6.75 ERA over the last three years. He'll head to Triple-A Columbus for now.

Godley cleared waivers, was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville and elected to become a free agent Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was DFA'd by the Brewers on Monday for the second time this season, and he's elected free agency rather than returning to Triple-A. Godley appeared in two games for Milwaukee this season and surrendered six runs on four hits with five strikeouts and five walks over 3.1 innings.

Godley was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Godley has already passed through waivers once this season back in mid-May. He's pitched just twice this season at the big-league level, giving up six earned runs in 3.1 innings, so there's seemingly a good chance he goes unclaimed again. Jake Cousins' contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Godley's contract was selected by the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Godley was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville in mid-May after he returned from a finger injury, and he made six appearances (five starts) in the minors. He posted a 2.40 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 30 innings during that time and will now return to the major-league roster after right-hander Eric Yardley was sent down as part of a corresponding move.
