Benjamin Rortvedt: Breaking News

Outrighted to Triple-A

The Mets outrighted Rortvedt to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Rortvedt passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the Mets' 40-man roster. He has been outrighted previously, which gives Rortvedt the right to decline the assignment and elect free agency. It's unclear whether he plans to do that or report to Syracuse, where he would represent catching depth.

DFA'd by Mets

The Mets designated Rortvedt for assignment Wednesday. Rortvedt was never going to make the Mets' roster as long as Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens were healthy, and the team's top two catchers are ready to go for Thursday's opener. The 28-year-old Rortvedt has been claimed off waivers three times already this offseason and could make it four.

Scooped up by New York

The Mets claimed Rortvedt off waivers Sunday. Rortvedt has been continually on the move during the offseason, and he's now been claimed via waivers for a third time since the beginning of November. The 28-year-old likely won't have much roster security with the Mets since Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens are locked in as the big club's top catchers.
