Impact With the Orioles' catching depth taking another hit after Gary Sanchez sprained his knee Saturday before being placed on the injured list a day later, Jackson was brought in to provide a much-needed healthy body behind the plate. The 29-year-old Jackson owns a .132/.224/.232 slash line in 340 plate appearances across parts of five seasons in the big leagues, but he's performed better at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2025, batting .226 with 10 home runs and a 10.4 percent walk rate in 44 games. He'll temporarily settle in as Baltimore's No. 2 catcher behind Jacob Stallings, though Jackson could be at risk of losing his spot on the 40-man roster once one of Sanchez, Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) or Chadwick Tromp (back) returns from the IL.

Re-signed to MiLB deal The Yankees re-signed Jackson to a minor-league contract Sunday.

Impact Jackson opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees after being told he was not going to make the Opening Day roster, but he was quickly re-signed to a new minor-league pact. He will provide catching depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Reds and newly acquired catcher Jose Trevino agree to 3-year contract worth $14,925,000

Catcher Jose Trevino and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a three-year contract worth $14,925,000, a deal that adds $11.5 million in newly guaranteed money

Makes case for backup catcher job Jackson went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk and three RBI in Friday's Grapefruit League win over Toronto.

Impact Jackson drove in half of New York's runs in the exhibition contest, drilling a solo homer to left field in the fifth inning and adding a two-run double in the sixth. The 29-year-old is trying to secure the Yankees' backup catcher job this spring, with J.C. Escarra and Ben Rice also candidates for the role. Through three exhibition appearances, Jackson is slashing .250/.250/.750, though he's struck out five times and hasn't drawn a walk in eight at-bats.

Reds acquire veteran catcher Jose Trevino in a trade with the Yankees

The Cincinnati Reds have acquired veteran catcher Jose Trevino in a trade with the New York Yankees

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • Associated Press

Traded to Pinstripes The Reds traded Jackson to the Yankees on Friday alongside Fernando Cruz in exchange for Jose Trevino, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact Jackson split time between Triple-A and the big leagues as part of the Rays organization last season. He slashed .238/.322/.533 with eight homers and 20 RBI in the minors but wasn't able to find his footing in the big leagues, finishing with a .438 OPS over 155 MLB plate appearances. The 28-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Reds in November but will now compete with J.C. Escarra in spring training for the backup catcher spot in New York.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Cincy Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday.

Impact Although Jackson managed to record a career-high 155 plate appearances with the Rays in 2024, he continued to struggle at the plate, slashing just .122/.201/.237 with 12 RBI. However, his OPS jumped up to .855 at Triple-A Durham, so the Reds will take a flier on him and likely send him to Triple-A Louisville to begin the '25 campaign.

Elects free agency Jackson has elected free agency, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Jackson initially remained in the Rays' organization after being outrighted off their 40-man roster last month, but he's now exercised his right to free agency. The catcher has a career .456 OPS over parts of five major-league seasons.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Passes through waivers Jackson cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Durham.

Impact Jackson has served as the Rays' No. 2 catcher for much of the season and was one of baseball's least-productive hitters during his time in the big leagues. Among the 393 players who have logged at least 150 plate appearances in 2024, Jackson's 29 wRC+ placed him 392nd. Since the Rays elected to drop Jackson from their 40-man roster, Logan Driscoll has taken over as the top backup to Ben Rortvedt.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Tampa Bay The Rays designated Jackson for assignment Thursday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Jackson has slashed only .122/.201/.237 in 58 games this season. The Rays will now use Logan Driscoll as their backup catcher behind Ben Rortvedt.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Retreating to bench Wednesday Jackson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Jackson will give way to Rob Brantly behind the dish as the Rays wrap up their series in Oakland. Ben Rortvedt (personal) is likely to return from the paternity list this weekend in Los Angeles, so Jackson's brief run as the Rays' No. 1 backstop should soon come to an end. Jackson owns a lowly .434 OPS over 144 plate appearances on the season, but he's shown some improvement since the All-Star break with a .200/.294/.378 slash line across 18 games.

Pops second homer Jackson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Yankees.

Impact Jackson was in the lineup to give Ben Rortvedt a day off and delivered his second home run of the season. He'll continue to play sparingly as the backup catcher and has just a .361 OPS and .091 average for the campaign.
