Opts out of deal Mancini opted out of his minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mancini has spent the entire 2025 campaign with the D-backs' Triple-A affiliate, slashing .308/.373/.522 with 16 homers, 62 RBI and 62 runs scored across 335 plate appearances. After an impressive start in the minors, he'll now test his value in free agency and presumably look to sign with a club that can offer a clearer path to big-league playing time.

Arizona Diamondbacks reassign veteran Trey Mancini to their minor league camp

The Arizona Diamondbacks have reassigned veteran Trey Mancini to minor league camp

MARCH 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Cut from big-league camp The Diamondbacks reassigned Mancini to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Impact The 33-year-old posted an impressive 1.121 OPS in 27 plate appearances in Cactus League play, but with Arizona already having Josh Naylor, Pavin Smith and Randal Grichuk (ankle) as options at first base or designated hitter, Mancini couldn't crack the Opening Day roster. Unless his minor-league contract contains an opt-out clause that enables him to pursue opportunities elsewhere, Mancini will likely begin the season at Triple-A Reno.

Veteran slugger beat cancer, hit a walk-off last week and aims to make Diamondbacks roster Slugger Trey Mancini, in camp with the Diamondbacks on a minor league deal, is trying to author another comeback story.

Hits walk-off homer Mancini went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's spring game against the White Sox.

Impact Mancini entered the back half of the game and won the game in walk-off fashion with his home run. The veteran signed an NRI deal with the Diamondbacks just prior to camp opening up and has hit well, going 9-for-21 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI over 13 Cactus League games. Most of Mancini's appearances have come in the back-end of games, signally that's he's not going to win a roster spot, which is understandable given the team's depth. He told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that he does not intend to opt-out if does not make the Opening Day roster.

Impact Mancini opted out of his minor-league contract with the Marlins during spring training after being informed he wouldn't make the Opening Day roster and he never signed on with a new team. However, after a year off to recharge his battery, Mancini is aiming to play in 2025. Slated to turn 33 in March, Mancini slashed just .237/.313/.374 from 2022-23 and could have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Let go by Cincinnati The Reds released Mancini on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact After reaching agreement with the Reds on a minor-league deal last week, Mancini hit .316 with two home runs in just five games at Triple-A Louisville before being handed his walking papers. The Reds may not have intended to promote Mancini to the big leagues when the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men Friday, so the 31-year-old will now be given the opportunity to find work elsewhere. Mancini had posted a .635 OPS in 261 plate appearances with the Cubs this season before being released earlier this month.

Inks MiLB deal with Cincy Mancini signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mancini was dropped by the Cubs at the start of August after putting up a .234/.299/.336 slash line through 261 plate appearances. The 31-year-old will now serve as organizational depth for the Reds and could work his way back into a major-league bench role if his bat heats up in Triple-A.

Released by Chicago Mancini was released by the Cubs on Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Mancini was designated for assignment Tuesday and predictably passed through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old inked a two-year, $14 million contract with the Cubs over the winter but struggled to a .234/.299/.336 batting line with only four home runs in 79 games. Chicago is still on the hook for his $7 million salary in 2024.

Impact This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Jeimer Candelario, who was acquired from the Nationals on Monday and will officially join the Cubs ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Reds. Mancini, 31, had slashed just .234/.299/.336 with four home runs through 263 plate appearances this season for Chicago.

On bench Wednesday Mancini is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox.

Impact Cody Bellinger is starting at first base and Christopher Morel will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter as they face off against right-hander Lance Lynn. Mancini has doubled in each of his last two games but holds an overall .243/.296/.329 batting line in 154 plate appearances this year against right-handed pitching.

Sits for second straight Mancini will sit Saturday against St. Louis, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mancini has been in and out of the Cubs' lineup throughout the regular season, with his .237/.301/.339 slash line failing to earn him a regular role. He recently started six straight games but has since found himself on the bench for two in a row, with Cody Bellinger starting at first base on both occasions.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recaptures regular role Mancini will start at first base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact With the Cubs having seemingly pulled the plug on Jared Young as their primary first baseman, Mancini has been the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. Cody Bellinger has moved from the outfield to take over as the Cubs' main option at first base, while Mike Tauchman has settled back into center field after a brief run as Chicago's primary designated hitter. The DH spot has now reopened for Mancini, though he'll play defense Thursday while the lefty-hitting Tauchman gets a day off versus southpaw Steven Matz. Mancini will be picking up his sixth consecutive start.
