Padres selected the contract of C Blake Hunt from Triple-A El Paso.

The 27-year-old backstop earns his first promotion to the big leagues after toiling in the minors for nine seasons. He has appeared in 15 games at the minor league level this season, slashing .289/.431/.533 with three homers, eight RBI and a 12/9 K/BB ratio over 58 plate appearances. He’ll add depth behind the plate with Freddy Fermin (concussion) on the injured list.

Padres signed C Blake Hunt to a minor league contract.

Hunt, the Padres’ second-round pick in 2017, returns to the organization five years after being shipped off to Tampa Bay in the Blake Snell trade. He spent last year with the Mariners’ Triple-A club, hitting .272/.368/.452 for Tacoma. Unfortunately, while his bat is solid, his subpar defense has kept him from being considered for a backup gig. He’ll probably head back to the PCL next season.

Mariners sent C Blake Hunt outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

No surprise here. Hunt went unclaimed on waivers after being removed from Seattle’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 26-year-old backstop will remain with the club as emergency catching depth in the minors.

Mariners designated C Blake Hunt for assignment.

The Mariners needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Casey Lawrence on Thursday and unfortunately Hunt drew the short straw this time around. The 26-year-old backstop was hitting just .231/.271/.407 with two homers, five RBI and a 29/5 K/BB ratio over 96 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. It seems likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra depth for the M’s.

Mariners optioned RHP Casey Legumina, C Blake Hunt and INF Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma; reassigned C Harry Ford and LHP Brandyn Garcia to minor league camp.

No real surprises here. It’s worth noting for dynasty purposes that Ford put together an impressive spring in Cactus League action, batting .421 (8-for-19) with one homer and three steals in 12 contests. His fantasy value tanked last year in the upper minors, but his athleticism is unparalleled at the catcher position.

Blake Hunt made his presence felt in Friday night’s loss to the Dodgers, swatting a two-run homer in his only plate appearance.

The 26-year-old backstop entered the game as a defensive replacement for Cal Raleigh in the eighth inning. He then strolled to the dish in the ninth and walloped a 393-foot (106.3 mph EV) two-run shot off of Matt Sauer to get the Mariners on the board. He has impressed in limited action at the plate this spring, hitting .600 (6-for-10) with a pair of long balls and four RBI.

Mariners acquired C Blake Hunt from the Orioles for cash considerations.

It’s a return to the organization for Hunt, as Seattle dealt Hunt to the Orioles for Mike Baumann last summer. The 26-year-old backstop will be the third catcher for the Mariners behind Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver while likely reporting to Triple-A Tacoma to begin the year.
