  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Nola signed a minor-league deal Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training with the Rockies, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Nola was in the Royals' organization in 2024 and spent about a week in the majors without appearing in a game. With Drew Romo and Jacob Stallings in the mix, it's unlikely that Nola will play a significant role for the Rockies in 2025.

  08/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Royals designated Nola for assignment Saturday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports. Kansas City acquired outfielders Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman via waivers, and Nola was one of the 40-man casualties along with infielder CJ Alexander. Nola surprised many with his initial success with the Mariners in 2019, but he's struggled to carve out consistent playing time in the majors in the season since. The 34-year-old has posted an ugly .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games with Triple-A Omaha in 2024.
