Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Inks minor-league deal with Toronto
The Blue Jays signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
It was initially reported Thursday that Sanchez -- who the Blue Jays designated for assignment Tuesday -- was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo after clearing waivers, per Bannon. However, the 28-year-old catcher declined his assignment and elected free agency. Nonetheless, Sanchez has opted to stick around with the Blue Jays organization and will report back to Triple-A. Sanchez is slashing .242/.311/.421 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 106 plate appearances for Buffalo this season.

The Blue Jays outrighted Sanchez to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Loses spot on 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Tyler Heineman back from the 7-day concussion injured list, the Jays no longer had a need for Sanchez. If Sanchez passes through waivers, he could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Contract selected, starting Sunday
The Blue Jays selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo, and he'll start behind the plate and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.
The 28-year-old inked a minor-league deal with Toronto in December and will now join the big club with Tyler Heineman (concussion) going on the 7-day injured list. Sanchez had a .401 OPS in 96 plate appearances with the Marlins last season. He'll likely see infrequent playing time for the Blue Jays since Alejandro Kirk is locked is as the team's No. 1 backstop.

Blue Jays' Ali Sanchez: Inks minor-league deal with Toronto
The Blue Jays signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Sanchez began the 2024 regular season with the Cubs in Triple-A, but he was dealt to the Marlins in mid-June in exchange for cash considerations. He ended up appearing in 31 games for Miami and posted a slash line of .167/.211/.190 with two stolen bases and four RBI across 96 plate appearances. Sanchez will have an opportunity in Toronto to compete for a major-league roster spot for the 2025 campaign.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: DFA'd by Miami
The Marlins designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday.
Miami selected the 27-year-old's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21, and he primarily served as a backup catcher during his time with the big club. Jhonny Pereda is now poised to fill that role after Sanchez posted a .167/.211/.190 slash line in 31 games.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Taking seat Sunday
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Sanchez had started in each of the Marlins' previous three matchups with right-handed starters, but he'll cede catching duties to Nick Fortes in the series finale while the Giants send right-hander Logan Webb to the hill. Sanchez and Fortes will likely continue to operate in a timeshare down the stretch, and the Marlins' catching picture could become even murkier with Miami using one of its two September call-ups on a third backstop in Jhonny Pereda.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Swipes two bags Thursday
Sanchez went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's win over the Rockies.
The catcher came into the game with zero pilfers in 36 career big-league games and has never swiped more than two bags in a minor-league season, but Sanchez came home on a double steal with Connor Norby in the fourth inning before nabbing second base himself in the sixth. Sanchez has moved into a timeshare with Nick Fortes of late, starting four of the last eight games including the last two against right-handed pitchers, but Thursday's performance in Coors Field was his first multi-hit effort since July 12.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Getting second straight start
Sanchez will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Sanchez will pick up a second consecutive start and could see the majority of the work behind the plate for the foreseeable future after Nick Fortes (quadricep) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The Marlins recalled Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville to provide another option at catcher, but Pereda is a 28-year-old rookie who has just five MLB plate appearances to his name. Sanchez is slashing .180/.255/.180 over his 20 games with the Marlins this season and shouldn't be viewed as a viable fantasy option outside of NL-only leagues.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Back on bench after three starts
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
After top backstop Nick Fortes committed three throwing errors in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets, Sanchez caught the Marlins' next three games, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts. Despite the rough performance over the weekend, Fortes still looks to be the Marlins' preferred catcher, and he'll be back behind the plate for Thursday's series finale with Baltimore while Sanchez sits.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Back on bench Sunday
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Sanchez will hit the bench for the second game in a row after he was behind the dish for Friday's 7-4 loss in the series opener, finishing with two hits and an RBI across four at-bats. He's slashing .250/.323/.250 in 32 plate appearances over 10 games since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21 and has been operating as the No. 2 option at catcher behind Nick Fortes.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Called up to Miami
The Marlins selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday
Miami acquired Sanchez from the Cubs on Wednesday and will quickly bring him up to the active roster as the team looks for another option behind the plate. Christian Bethancourt was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, leaving Nick Fortes -- who's slashing .159/.194/.225 this season -- as Sanchez's only competition at catcher.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Dealt to Miami
The Cubs traded Sanchez to the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Sanchez has spent the entire season with Triple-A Iowa, slashing .240/.338/.388 with 21 RBI across 148 plate appearances. Given the awful seasons Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt have both had in the majors, it's possible Sanchez gets his first look in the big leagues since 2021 if he continues at his current pace.

Cubs' Ali Sanchez: Signs MiLB deal with Cubs
The Cubs signed Sanchez to a minor-league deal Friday, per the MLB transaction report.
Sanchez joined the Pirates on a one-year contract in December, but he was DFA'd by the team March 28 after going 2-for-16 in spring training. The veteran catcher will now provide organizational depth behind the plate as a member of the Cubs.

Ali Sanchez: Elects free agency
Sanchez elected to become a free agent Sunday.
Sanchez cleared waivers after the Pirates removed him from their 40-man roster, but he had the ability to decline an outright assignment and has done just that. The veteran catcher will now look to latch on in another organization that's seeking depth behind the plate.

Pirates' Ali Sanchez: Remains in organization
Sanchez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
The 27-year-old was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh ahead of the season opener but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Sanchez will provide catching depth at Indianapolis.

Pirates' Ali Sanchez: DFA'd by Bucs
The Pirates designated Sanchez for assignment Thursday.
Sanchez signed a one-year deal with the Pirates in the offseason but will fall short of the Opening Day roster after going just 2-for-16 during spring training. The 27-year-old catcher slashed .311/.375/.492 over 267 plate appearances at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization last season, so he could draw interest from teams on the waiver wire.

Pirates' Ali Sanchez: Inks one-year deal with Pittsburgh
Sanchez signed a one-year contract with the Pirates on Friday.
Sanchez hasn't played in a major-league game since 2021, but he posted a strong .311/.375/.492 slash line over 267 plate appearances with the Triple-A affiliate of the Diamondbacks in 2023. The 26-year-old could be a backup option at catcher for Pittsburgh in 2024.

Diamondbacks' Ali Sanchez: Clears waivers
Sanchez was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Jan. 5 after clearing waivers.
Sanchez has spent time in three organizations this offseason after being moved off the 40-man rosters of the Tigers, Pirates and Diamondbacks, but he looks set to stick around in Arizona now that he's gone unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment in late December. The 26-year-old will likely be invited to big-league spring training and could get the chance to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster if Arizona decides to keep a third catcher behind Gabriel Moreno and Carson Kelly.
