Collin Snider: Everything you need to know

The Cubs reassigned Snider to minor-league camp Sunday. Snider made 24 regular-season appearances in the big leagues with Seattle in 2025, but he lost his spot on the 40-man roster in August and then signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs over the winter. The veteran righty was unable to secure a spot in the Cubs' Opening Day bullpen and is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs signed Snider to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic report. Snider had a breakout 2024 season in Seattle but struggled with the Mariners in 2025, collecting a 5.47 ERA and 24:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings. He missed time around midseason with a flexor strain but is healthy now.

The Mariners outrighted Snider to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. Snider was activated from the 15-day injured list and designated for assignment Wednesday but will end up sticking around in the organization after clearing waivers. The right-handed reliever has made 24 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen this season, logging a 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB in 26.1 innings.
