Braves' Chandler Seagle: Gets MiLB deal from Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta signed Seagle to a minor-league contract Jan. 16.
Seagle drew one plate appearance with the Padres in 2023 before spending all of 2024 at their Triple-A affiliate in El Paso, where he slashed an ugly .180/.219/.280 in 38 games. He's merely organizational catching depth.

Padres' Chandler Seagle: Demoted to minors camp

The Padres reassigned Seagle to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Seagle got the chance to make his MLB debut for the Padres in the final week of the 2023 season, with the 27-year-old logging one plate appearance as a backup catcher. He was outrighted off the 40-man roster following the season but remained in the San Diego organization and attended big-league spring training, though he was never a serious threat to crack the Padres' Opening Day roster. He'll likely open the 2024 campaign at Triple-A El Paso.

Padres' Chandler Seagle: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Padres sent Seagle outright to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.
Seagle was selected to the major-league roster as a depth piece during the final days of the regular season and registered only one plate appearance. He slashed .209/.261/.296 across 230 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A, and he'll now return to the minors without the benefit of a 40-man spot.
