The Mets signed Reetz to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Barring something unforeseen, Reetz isn't going to make the Opening Day roster, but he will give the Mets' some veteran catching depth. The 28-year-old got into six games with the Giants this past season, picking up a double and a home run in 15 plate appearances.

Rotowire

Reetz will stick around in the Giants organization as catching depth after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment Friday. The 28-year-old backstop has appeared in six games at the big-league level for the Giants in 2024 while going 2-for-14 with a solo home run and a walk.

Giants' Jakson Reetz: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Reetz from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Patrick Bailey (oblique) landed on the injured list Tuesday, so the Giants will now call upon Reetz to give the team some depth behind the plate while Curt Casali acts as the primary starter.

Giants' Jakson Reetz: Optioned to Sacramento
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Reetz to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
The move makes room for the reinstatement of catcher Curt Casali from the paternity list. Reetz was called up from Sacramento on Tuesday. In his lone outing Thursday against the Nationals, Reetz went 1-for-2 with one double and one walk. In the minors this season, he's slashing .250/.362/.428 with five home runs and 31 RBI across 214 plate appearances.

Rotowire
Reetz was designated for assignment by the Giants on Friday.
Reetz will be placed on waivers, but after going 1-for-12 in the big leagues this season, it's unlikely the 28-year-old will be claimed. If he does go unclaimed, Reetz would be expected to remain within the Giants organization.

Giants' Jakson Reetz: Heads back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Reetz was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
With Patrick Bailey getting activated off the concussion injured list, Reetz was no longer needed for catching depth at the big-league level. Reetz has a .217/.357/.435 slash line with two home runs in 15 games at Triple-A.

Giants' Jakson Reetz: Homers as pinch hitter
Rotowire
Reetz went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.
Reetz roped a solo shot off Jose Alvarado in the ninth to bring the Giants within a run, but their comeback attempt would ultimately fall short. It was his first major-league at-bat since 2021 and he should receive some additional looks while the team waits for Patrick Bailey (concussion) & Tom Murphy (knee) to return from their respective injuries.

The Giants selected Reetz's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The 28-year-old has a .217/.357/.435 slash line in 15 games for Sacramento this season, and he'll receive a chance in the big leagues with Patrick Bailey (concussion) and Tom Murphy (knee) on the injured list. Reetz should serve as the backup to Blake Sabol.

Giants' Jakson Reetz: Signs MiLB pact
Rotowire
San Francisco signed Reetz to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
Reetz opted out of his minor-league contract with the Royals after hitting .274/.349/.526 with four homers in 106 plate appearances with Triple-A Omaha. He provides the Giants with some minor-league depth at the backstop position. He would need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to join the major-league roster.

Royals' Jakson Reetz: Reassigned to minors camp
Rotowire
Reetz was reassigned to minor-league camp by Kansas City on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old catcher slashed .227/.320/.455 this spring over 25 plate appearances and will likely begin the season in Triple-A, where he posted a .771 OPS in 2022.

Royals' Jakson Reetz: Finds work in Royals organization
Rotowire
Reetz signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Aug. 24 and went 5-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs while playing in both ends of a doubleheader Sunday in his debut for Triple-A Omaha.
Reetz quickly struck a deal with the Royals after he elected free agency when the Brewers cast him off their 40-man roster and outrighted him to Triple-A earlier this month. The 26-year-old will add catching depth with his new organization, but he's unlikely to get a promotion to the big leagues in September with Sebastian Rivero already on hand as a third option behind the plate after Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez.

Brewers' Jakson Reetz: Remains in Milwaukee organization
Rotowire
The Brewers outrighted Reetz to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Reetz was removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster last week when the team reinstated J.C. Mejia from his 80-game suspension. The 26-year-old Reetz submitted a 1.002 OPS in 64 games at Double-A Biloxi earlier this season but has struggled at Nashville, slashing .212/.254/.424 over 71 plate appearances with the Brewers' top affiliate.

Brewers' Jakson Reetz: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Reetz was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Reetz was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster in early August, but he'll be designated for assignment after J.C. Mejia was reinstated from his suspension Thursday. It seems likely that Reetz will remain at Triple-A Nashville if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Brewers' Jakson Reetz: Lands with Brewers
Rotowire
Reetz signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday.
Reetz made his major-league debut with the Nationals last year but spent most of the year in the minors. Across 77 appearances between the Double-A and Triple-A levels, he hit .189 with six homers, 35 runs and 25 RBI. He'll have the chance to compete at major-league spring training in 2022.

Nationals' Jakson Reetz: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Reetz was optioned back to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Reetz recorded a double across two at-bats off the bench after being recalled July 10. With Washington signing catcher Rene Rivera to a major-league deal Friday, Reetz will head back to Rochester for the time being. Given that both Yan Gomes (oblique) and Alex Avila (calf) could possibly return by month's end, there's a good chance Reetz will remain in Triple-A at least until rosters expand in September.

Nationals' Jakson Reetz: Joins 60-man pool
Rotowire
Reetz has been added to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old is one of six catchers in the pool, and Reetz is highly unlikely to see action with the big-league club after having yet to advance past High-A in his career. He did show some promise with his bat in 2019, however, slashing .253/.370/.441 with 13 homers in 96 games for High-A Potomac.

Nationals' Jakson Reetz: Finally making progress
Rotowire
Reetz hit .282 with 12 of his 13 homers and a .563 slugging percentage after the All-Star break last year for High-A Potomac, Byron Kerr of MASN reports.
Drafted in the third round in 2014, Reetz's climb up the ladder in the Nats' organization has been slowed in large part due to injuries. The 24-year-old was able to stay healthy and put together an impressive second half last season -- both his 13 homers and 96 games played were career highs -- and he carried that momentum into the Arizona Fall League, leading the Surprise squad with a .333 batting average. Context can't be overlooked here, as a 23-year-old in his third campaign at High-A should be expected to post strong offensive numbers. If Reetz has turned a corner in his development, though, he could establish himself as a future major leaguer with a good showing at Double-A in 2020.
