Nottingham was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday.
Nottingham was in Seattle's camp on a minor-league deal, and he was always a longshot to make the Opening Day roster. He played the entire 2022 season at Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles' organization and is likely to serve as minor-league depth for a club again in 2023.

Nottingham elected free agency Thursday, per Triple-A Norfolk's transaction log.

Orioles' Jacob Nottingham: Misses cut for roster spot
Nottingham won't be included on the Orioles' Opening Day roster after he was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Anthony Bemboom won the backup catcher job. Nottingham will remain with the Orioles' organization for now -- he should be expected to report to Triple-A Norfolk. Since he's played in just 44 major-league games over the last three seasons, Nottingham shouldn't be on the fantasy radar.

Orioles' Jacob Nottingham: Signs minor-league deal
Nottingham signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Nottingham appeared in 15 major-league games with the Brewers and Mariners last year and hit .150 with three home runs, six RBI and five runs. Given his big-league experience and the lack of Baltimore's depth at catcher, it wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a non-roster invitee this spring.

Mariners' Jacob Nottingham: Outrighted to Triple-A

Mariners' Jacob Nottingham: Designated for assignment again
Nottingham was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
Nottingham has now been designated for assignment four times by two organizations this year. He was dropped by the Brewers in late April and claimed by the Mariners, only to be DFA'd again and traded back to Milwaukee at the start of May. He lasted less than two weeks before yet another DFA in mid-May, with the Mariners yet again claiming him. Nottingham then lasted less than three weeks in his second stint with Seattle before this latest transaction. If the pattern were to continue, he'd be grabbed by the Brewers again shortly and return to Seattle sometime in mid-July, but the Brewers have two healthy catchers this time around, so they may not need him, meaning he's likely to head to Triple-A Tacoma. Dillon Thomas was called up in a corresponding move.

Mariners' Jacob Nottingham: First home run as Mariner
Nottingham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, additional run, walk and strikeout as Seattle beat Texas, 5-0 on Thursday.
Nottingham went back-to-back with fellow catcher Tom Murphy in the third to get Seattle on the board and later scored after a seventh-inning walk. Since being re-acquired from Milwaukee, Nottingham has seen a decent amount of playing time at first base, which is likely to continue if performances like this get repeated.

Mariners' Jacob Nottingham: Heads to bench
Nottingham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Nottingham will sit for the second straight game while Eric Campbell picks up another start in the corner infield.

Nottingham will start at first base and bat seventh Sunday against the Padres.
Nottingham has primarily played catcher throughout his professional career, but the Mariners have used him exclusively at first base since claiming him off waivers from Milwaukee on Thursday. He'll draw his third straight start at the position Sunday, and Nottingham could end up serving as the primary first baseman until Seattle gets at least one of Evan White (hip), Ty France (wrist) or Dylan Moore (calf) back from the 10-day injured list.
