Mitchell Garver: Breaking News

The Mariners selected Garver's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. Garver re-signed with Seattle as a non-roster invitee after camp opened and beat out Jhonny Pereda and Andrew Knizner for the backup catcher job. The 35-year-old will see some starts at catcher on days Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter, but Garver's playing time should be fairly limited.

Garver is expected to begin the season as Seattle's No. 2 catcher, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. The 35-year-old re-signed with the Mariners as a non-roster invitee in February and will once again served as the backup catcher to Cal Raleigh. Garver still needs to be added to the big-league roster, but the club isn't expected to finalize the roster until Wednesday. He played in 87 regular-season games last year and clubbed nine homers with a .640 OPS.

The Mariners signed Garver to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Garver spent the last two seasons with the Mariners serving as the team's backup catcher to Cal Raleigh. Garver will get a chance to reprise that role for the 2026 campaign, and he'll face competition from Jhonny Pereda and Andrew Knizner in spring training. Garver appeared in 87 regular-season games for Seattle in 2025 and slashed .209/.297/.343 with three steals, nine home runs and 30 RBI across 290 plate appearances.
