"Former World Series Champion Trey Mancini Signs Minor League Deal with Miami Marlins"

The Miami Marlins have signed free agent Trey Mancini to a minor league contract, with Mancini set to join the team as a non-roster invitee for spring training. Mancini, who struggled in the 2023 season after being released by the Cubs and later the Reds, will compete for a bench spot and potential playing time at designated hitter and in the outfield corners with the Marlins. Despite recent struggles, Mancini has shown the ability to be a productive hitter and has a compelling personal story, having overcome Stage 3 colon cancer and returning to play in 2021.

Trey Mancini Becomes Free Agent After Clearing Waivers

Trey Mancini has cleared waivers and become a free agent after being designated for assignment by the Chicago Cubs. Mancini's performance with the Cubs was disappointing, hitting .234 with only four home runs and a high strikeout rate. The 31-year-old first baseman/designated hitter is due around $2.2MM for the rest of this season and $7MM next year, with the Cubs responsible for most of that money. Mancini is likely to generate interest as a bench bat and could find a new MLB roster spot with little financial cost for another team.

"Cubs Cut Ties with Veteran Slugger Trey Mancini"

The Chicago Cubs have decided to part ways with veteran first baseman/DH Trey Mancini, designating him for assignment to make room on the roster for Jeimer Candelario. Mancini has struggled this season, hitting just .234 with 4 home runs and 28 RBI in 79 games. With the emergence of players like Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom, the Cubs felt that Mancini would not receive many plate appearances going forward. Despite being well-respected in the clubhouse, his on-field performance led to a team-worst -0.8 WAR. With Candelario now on the roster, the Cubs have options at first base and DH.

Cody Bellinger, who was initially unavailable due to illness, came in later and played first base. The game was winnable in other ways, but the Cubs never had a chance after Mancini's errors.
