Mets signed INF Niko Goodrum to a minor league contract.

Goodrum opted out of his minor league deal with the Padres at the end of the Cactus League. The 33-year-old will need to be added to the 40-man roster to play for the Mets in 2025. There’s a pretty good chance that doesn’t happen.

Mets signed 1B Jon Singleton to a minor league contract.

The Mets also signed Niko Goodrum to a minor league deal Wednesday, so Triple-A Syracuse gets a glow up. Singleton was released by the Astros before the start of the season, and isn’t likely to be a player that gets much playing time with the Mets unless Pete Alonso was to miss time. Even still there’s no guarantee.

Padres reassigned OF Forrest Wall and INF Niko Goodrum to minor league camp.

Neither Wall or Goodrum had a real shot at making San Diego’s season-opening roster, but they’re experienced emergency depth options at the Triple-A level.

Padres signed Niko Goodrum to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Goodrum played in just 13 games in 2024 at the highest level, and he slashed an awful .103/.188/.103 in his 33 plate appearances. He does offer the ability to play all over the infield and the corner outfield spots, so a good showing in the Cactus League gives him a chance of making San Diego out of spring training.

Pirates 1B Niko Goodrum elected free agency.

Goodrum will test the free agent waters after passing through waivers unclaimed following his removal last week from Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster. The 32-year-old journeyman didn’t appear in a game for the Pirates, but has gotten into 13 contests this season split between the Rays and Angels.

Pirates designated INF Niko Goodrum for assignment.

Less than a week after being claimed off of waivers from the Angels, Goodrum finds himself off the 40-man roster once more so that the Pirates had a roster spot available for Josh Fleming on Friday. The versatile 32-year-old makes for a nice utility option and will probably attract interest on waivers once again this time around.

Pirates claimed INF/OF Niko Goodrum off waivers from the Angels and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

It wasn’t announced, but the Angels obviously tried removing Goodrum from the 40-man in recent days, allowing the Pirates to pick him up and stash him. The 32-year-old Goodrum played in four games for the Angels in May, going 0-for-13. He also served a stint with the Rays this season, and he’s 3-for-29 overall.

Angels optioned INF/OF Niko Goodrum to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Goodrum played in four games for the Angels, going 0-for-13 with four strikeouts and two walks. With Luis Rengifo coming off the IL, Goodrum will head to the minors to provide the organization with valuable positional depth.

Angels activated INF/OF Luis Rengifo from the 10-day injured list.

The Angels tried to keep Rengifo on the active roster, but after he missed five games, they decided to put him on the injured list last Thursday. A week later, he’s returning to the fold and should likely remain an everyday player for the Angels given how banged up their lineup is. Niko Goodrum was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Dan Patrick explains why Tarik Skubal's shaky Dodgers debut featuring a 60% strike rate, his lowest in four years, isn't the end of the world and he can be trusted to get better in "a lot more starts."
