Wolters announced his retirement from baseball via his personal Instagram page Sunday. Wolters spent the entire 2023 campaign at Triple-A St. Paul and has decided to call it a career ahead of the 2024 season. The 31-year-old spent parts of seven seasons in the majors and hit .235 with seven homers, 131 runs, 123 RBI and six steals.

The Twins reassigned Wolters to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. It was a rough spring for Wolters as he recorded just one hit in 20 at-bats with seven strikeouts. He will likely spend the vast majority of the season in the minors, only to be called up if the Twins' depth behind the plate is ever tested.

Wolters signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. He's presumably been given a non-roster invitation to the major-league side of spring training. Wolters has seen bit of action in the big leagues across seven seasons, although not extensively since his days with the Rockies from 2016-20.

Wolters re-signed Tuesday with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract. Wolters was cut loose last week shortly after being removed from the Dodgers' 40-man roster, but after evaluating his options on the open market, he'll stick around in the organization. The 30-year-old will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City and should rank near the top of the list for a promotion if the Dodgers should lose fellow catchers Will Smith or Austin Barnes for any length of time.

Wolters was released by the Dodgers on Friday. Wolters joined the Dodgers on a minor-league deal last August and had a brief stint with the big-league club last weekend, but he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts prior to being designated for assignment. The 30-year-old will seek out opportunities elsewhere after going unclaimed on waivers.
