Mets add catching depth, claim Rortvedt from Dodgers
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The Mets made another addition to their catching depth on Sunday, claiming World Series champion Ben Rortvedt off wa...

Claimed by NYM
The Mets claimed Rortvedt off waivers Sunday.
Impact
Rortvedt has been continually on the move during the offseason, with this being the fourth time he's been claimed via the waiver process. The 28-year-old likely won't have much roster security with the Mets since Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens are locked in as the big club's top catchers.

Booted off 40-man roster
The Dodgers designated Rortvedt for assignment Wednesday.
Impact
Rortvedt will be removed from the Dodgers' 40-man roster for the second time this offseason after Los Angeles previously designated him for assignment in November before bringing him back via a waiver claim last week. The Dodgers will hope to keep Rortvedt around in the organization as catching depth at the Triple-A level if he clears waivers this time around, though it's possible that another club in need of a defense-first backup backstop puts in a claim for the 28-year-old.

DODGERSWAY.COM
Claimed by Dodgers
The Dodgers claimed Rortvedt off waivers from the Reds on Friday.
Impact
Rortvedt went from the Dodgers to the Reds via waivers in November and is now headed back in the other direction. The glove-first catcher is a career .190/.279/.270 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons. Rortvedt does not have minor-league options remaining, and with Will Smith and Dalton Rushing already on the roster, the Dodgers might try to slip Rortvedt through waivers again.

DFA'd by Cincinnati
The Reds designated Rortvedt for assignment Tuesday.
Impact
Booting Rortvedt off the 40-man roster clears a spot for Eugenio Suarez, who was officially signed Tuesday. Rortvedt was a waiver claim by the Reds earlier this offseason and is now likely to be on the move again. The defensive-minded catcher is a career .190/.279/.270 hitter over parts of four big-league seasons.

Claimed off waivers by Reds
The Reds claimed Rortvedt off waivers from the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Impact
Rortvedt split 2025 between the Rays and Dodgers, collecting a .152/.240/.205 batting line over 44 regular-season contests. He does not have minor-league options remaining and the Reds already have Tyler Stephenson and Jose Trevino pegged as their catching duo in 2026, so it's unclear how Rortvedt fits into the picture in Cincinnati.
