Trey Mancini: Planning comeback in 2025
Mancini is eyeing a return to the major leagues in 2025 after sitting out the 2024 season, Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner reports.
Mancini opted out of his minor-league contract with the Marlins during spring training after being informed he wouldn't make the Opening Day roster and he never signed on with a new team. However, after a year off to recharge his battery, Mancini is aiming to play in 2025. Slated to turn 33 in March, Mancini slashed just .237/.313/.374 from 2022-23 and could have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Trey Mancini: Opts out of deal
Mancini opted out of his minor-league contract with the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Mancini's decision suggests he was not going to make Miami's Opening Day roster, so he will now try his luck on the open market. Mancini slashed .234/.299/.336 with 28 RBI across 261 plate appearances with the Cubs last season and may still be able to find a big-league opportunity with a team in search of 1B/OF depth.

Marlins' Trey Mancini: Nets NRI from Miami
Mancini signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Mancini slashed just .234/.299/.336 with four home runs over 263 plate appearances with the Cubs last season and was even worse than that (.622 OPS) in the second half of 2022 with the Astros. Still, a modest rebound in what will be his age-32 campaign in 2024 is possible, and he should make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Trey Mancini: Let go by Cincinnati
The Reds released Mancini on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
After reaching agreement with the Reds on a minor-league deal last week, Mancini hit .316 with two home runs in just five games at Triple-A Louisville before being handed his walking papers. The Reds may not have intended to promote Mancini to the big leagues when the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men Friday, so the 31-year-old will now be given the opportunity to find work elsewhere. Mancini had posted a .635 OPS in 261 plate appearances with the Cubs this season before being released earlier this month.

Reds' Trey Mancini: Inks MiLB deal with Cincy
Mancini signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Mancini was dropped by the Cubs at the start of August after putting up a .234/.299/.336 slash line through 261 plate appearances. The 31-year-old will now serve as organizational depth for the Reds and could work his way back into a major-league bench role if his bat heats up in Triple-A.

Trey Mancini: Released by Chicago
Mancini was released by the Cubs on Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Mancini was designated for assignment Tuesday and predictably passed through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old inked a two-year, $14 million contract with the Cubs over the winter but struggled to a .234/.299/.336 batting line with only four home runs in 79 games. Chicago is still on the hook for his $7 million salary in 2024.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Dropped from 40-man roster
Mancini was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Jeimer Candelario, who was acquired from the Nationals on Monday and will officially join the Cubs ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Reds. Mancini, 31, had slashed just .234/.299/.336 with four home runs through 263 plate appearances this season for Chicago. He is owed $7 million in 2024 and will almost certainly pass through waivers unclaimed.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: On bench Wednesday
Mancini is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox.
Cody Bellinger is starting at first base and Christopher Morel will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter as they face off against right-hander Lance Lynn. Mancini has doubled in each of his last two games but holds an overall .243/.296/.329 batting line in 154 plate appearances this year against right-handed pitching.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Sits for second straight
Mancini will sit Saturday against St. Louis, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Mancini has been in and out of the Cubs' lineup throughout the regular season, with his .237/.301/.339 slash line failing to earn him a regular role. He recently started six straight games but has since found himself on the bench for two in a row, with Cody Bellinger starting at first base on both occasions.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Recaptures regular role
Mancini will start at first base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
With the Cubs having seemingly pulled the plug on Jared Young as their primary first baseman, Mancini has been the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. Cody Bellinger has moved from the outfield to take over as the Cubs' main option at first base, while Mike Tauchman has settled back into center field after a brief run as Chicago's primary designated hitter. The DH spot has now reopened for Mancini, though he'll play defense Thursday while the lefty-hitting Tauchman gets a day off versus southpaw Steven Matz. Mancini will be picking up his sixth consecutive start.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Not starting Sunday
Mancini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Mancini started each of the last two games at first base but will head to the bench Sunday, with Jared Young getting the start. Young started off quickly but has fallen into a slump more recently, so Mancini could earn a larger share of playing time after the All-Star break. The veteran is batting .239 with a .652 OPS across 68 games.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Productive effort Sunday
Mancini went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Guardians.
Mancini no longer has to contend with Matt Mervis on the MLB roster for playing time, though Jared Young is now getting a look at first. The latter started there Sunday, with Mancini slotting in as the DH. That should allow the veteran to still see frequent playing time, though the Cubs figure to rotate several players in as the DH moving forward. Mancini isn't particularly splashy, though he is batting an even .300 over his last 10 games, giving him some fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: On bench Monday
Mancini is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Pirates.
Mancini will remain on the bench for a third straight game Monday. Cody Bellinger will make a third consecutive start at first base and has seemingly jumped Mancini as the Cubs' primary first baseman moving forward.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Not starting Sunday
Mancini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The 31-year-old will sit for the second straight contest and for the third time in four games since Cody Bellinger was reinstated from the injured list Thursday. The demotion of Matt Mervis likely means Mancini will continue seeing regular starts at first base, but Bellinger could mix in there more often with Mike Tauchman playing well enough to warrant receiving reps in center field.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Reaches four times vs. former team
Mancini went 2-for-2 with two walks, two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Orioles.
Mancini started his career in Baltimore and spent his first six seasons there before being traded to Houston last year. The slugger appeared locked in from the start versus his former team and reached safely four times for the first time this year. It was also the first time Mancini had recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game and third time he worked multiple walks. The 31-year-old had fallen into the short side of a platoon at first base, but with Matt Mervis now back at Triple-A, a hot streak could propel Mancini into a prominent role.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Sitting Saturday
Mancini isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Orioles.
After reaching base in all four of his plate appearances Friday, Mancini will catch a day off Saturday. Cody Bellinger will serve as the Cubs' first baseman in Mancini's place, allowing Mike Tauchman to start in center field and bat in the leadoff spot.

Cubs' Trey Mancini: Goes deep in win
Mancini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres.
Mancini got the start with Matt Mervis hitting the bench against San Diego southpaw Ryan Weathers. The veteran responded with his fourth home run of the season, and while he should still see some time against lefties moving forward, his fantasy production may be sporadic while he in the short side of a platoon.
