Claimed by Mets The Mets claimed Ibanez off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact The A's designated Ibanez for assignment Sunday, but he'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot by moving to the Mets. He'll fill in as a depth piece in New York, though he isn't likely to see many opportunities after posting a .285 OPS in 18 plate appearances with the Athletics.

DFA'd by Athletics The Athletics designated Ibanez for assignment Sunday.

Impact Ibanez had been seeing sparse playing time and hadn't appeared in a game since April 19. He's slashing just .118/.167/.118 with three RBI over 18 plate appearances on the campaign and will now be exposed to waivers. Ibanez's removal from the active roster made room for the A's to activate Brent Rooker (oblique) from the injured list.

Munetaka Murakami Hits 1st MLB Grand Slam as White Sox Thump Athletics

Collects two RBI vs. Atlanta Ibanez went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact Ibanez put the Athletics on the board with an RBI single in the second inning before doing so again in the fourth. He got the start at second base for the first time this season, and his defensive versatility and success at the plate against southpaws should afford him regular playing time this season.

Belts first spring homer Ibanez started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Wednesday's Cactus League win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Ibanez opened the scoring for the Athletics, driving his first homer of the Cactus League in the second inning off Ryne Nelson. The veteran has put forth strong numbers this spring, slashing .387/.441/.613 with a homer, four doubles and six RBI across 11 appearances. Max Muncy entered spring training as the presumed favorite for the third-base job, but Ibanez's impressive spring showing, coupled with his versatility to play multiple infield positions and track record of hitting left-handed pitching, gives him a compelling case to make the 26-man roster and see regular-season opportunities for the Athletics.

Collects four hits in spring win Ibanez went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Dodgers.

Impact Ibanez was hot at the plate from the start, lacing a 107.2 mph double to lead off the bottom of the first inning in what ultimately turned into a four-hit performance. Including Sunday's standout showing, he's hitting .400/.464/.560 with four doubles, three RBI and three runs scored through nine spring appearances. It was a hectic offseason for the 32-year-old, who was non-tendered by the Tigers in November before signing with the Dodgers in early January, only to be designated for assignment less than a month later and ultimately claimed by the Athletics on Feb. 6. Known for his ability to hit left-handed pitching, Ibanez is in the mix for playing time at third base alongside Max Muncy and Darell Hernaiz.

Claimed by Athletics The Athletics claimed Ibanez off waivers from the Dodgers on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact The Dodgers signed Ibanez to a one-year, $1.2 million contract in early January but then designated him for assignment less than a month later. He'll now head to the Athletics and should be in the mix for playing time at third base. Ibanez is a career .280/.327/.452 hitter versus left-handed pitching.

FEBRUARY 3 • Associated Press

Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Ibanez for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The 32-year-old inked a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Dodgers in early January, but his stay on the big-league roster didn't even last a month. Ibanez posted a .653 OPS in 91 regular-season games for Detroit last season, but his career .280/.327/.452 slash line versus lefties could garner some interest on the waiver wire.

Nets MLB deal from Dodgers The Dodgers signed Ibanez to a one-year contract Friday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ibanez was non-tendered by the Tigers earlier in the offseason but has managed to land on his feet in Los Angeles. He's a career .280/.327/.452 hitter versus left-handed pitching and does not have minor-league options remaining, so Ibanez is a good bet to make the Dodgers' Opening Day roster and get some starts at second and/or third base against southpaws. Ibanez will remain under team control through 2028.

2025 MLB Non-Tender Free Agents

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Free agent after being non-tendered The Tigers non-tendered Ibanez on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Ibanez had been projected to make around $2 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility, and the Tigers have decided against giving him that raise. The right-handed-hitting Ibanez is a career .280/.327/.452 hitter versus left-handed pitching and offers some defensive versatility, so he shouldn't have trouble landing a job elsewhere.
