Braves' Travis Snider: Signs minors deal with Atlanta
Rotowire
Snider signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
The 33-year-old is a long shot at best to make the team, as he hasn't appeared in a big-league game since 2015. In 630 career games at the highest level, he owns a modest .244/.311/.399 slash line. He spent time with the Diamondbacks and Marlins last season but never made either team's 40-man roster.

Marlins' Travis Snider: Lands minors deal with Marlins
Rotowire
Snider signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Friday.
The 32-year-old owns a respectable .244/.311/.399 slash line over parts of eight major-league seasons. The last of those seasons came all the way back in 2015, however, and he was out of affiliated ball entirely in 2018, playing for the Atlantic League's Long Island Ducks. He managed a strong .294/.402/.497 line for Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks' system last year, however, and could play a small role at some point in Miami this season.

Diamondbacks' Travis Snider: Returns to affiliated ball
Rotowire
Snider signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
Snider broke into the majors as a 20-year-old and spent parts of eight seasons in the big leagues, hitting a modest .244/.311/.399. He hasn't appeared at the highest level since 2015, spending the next two seasons in Triple-A and last season with Long Island in the Atlantic League. His strong .290/.374/.463 line there was enough for the 30-year-old to be given another shot at a major-league job, though the odds of him playing a significant role are low.

Mets' Travis Snider: Dealt to Mets for cash
Rotowire
The Rangers traded Snider to the Mets on Tuesday for cash considerations, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
A former top prospect, Snider hasn't played in the big leagues since 2015, when he appeared in 87 games with the Pirates and Orioles. Despite the organizational change, Snider doesn't appear particularly close to earning another look in the majors, even though he's slashed a respectable .294/.375/.435 in the Pacific Coast League this season.
Rangers' Travis Snider: Inks minor league deal with Rangers
Rotowire
Snider signed a minor league deal with the Rangers on Friday worth $1 million if he makes the big league club, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball reports.
Snider only put up a .690 OPS for Kansas City Triple-A affiliate Omaha and hit a combined .232/.313/.350 for Baltimore and Pittsburgh in 2015. He'll likely serve as minors depth for the Rangers, but his eight years of major league experience could make him a possibility if the Rangers' catching depth takes a hit.
