Reinaldo Almora: Everything you need to know

Almora signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Almora had previously been in Miami's organization, posting a .604 OPS with one home run and four steals over 44 games with Triple-A Jacksonville until he was released last Thursday. The veteran outfielder hasn't played in the majors since 2022, when he got into 64 contests with Cincinnati. Almora has had some big-league success in the past -- he swatted 12 homers with 32 RBI over 130 games with the Cubs in 2019 -- but will likely need to impress in Arizona's minor-league system to get another look at the highest level.

The Marlins released Almora on Thursday. Almora slashed just .240/.289/.315 over 44 games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 33-year-old had been on a minor-league contract and has not appeared in a major-league game since 2022.

The Marlins signed Almora to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Almora, who turns 31 in April, spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization, putting up a .787 OPS with nine homers and 20 steals. He last appeared in the majors in 2022 and, even with the lack of talent on the Marlins' projected major-league roster, is likely to begin 2025 at Triple-A Jacksonville.
