Brian O'Keefe signs minor league pact with Mariners
Brian O'Keefe has agreed to a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners. He will head to spring training with the club as part of the deal.
Fantasy Impact
O'Keefe has played sparingly in the majors, appearing in just 10 career games with the Mariners in 2022 and 2023. He has gone 3-for-22 (.136) at the plate with a pair of RBI. The veteran catcher has appeared in 859 career minor league games and has hit .248 with 138 home runs in 3,550 plate appearances. The Mariners have a guy by the name of Cal Raleigh firmly entrenched as the starting catcher, so the best case scenario for O'Keefe would be to earn the backup role. However, the most likely outcome is O'Keefe heading to Triple-A Tacoma to begin the year.
