Latches on with Seattle The Mariners signed Nottingham to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Lands MiLB deal with Nats Nottingham signed a minor-league contract with Washington on Monday, Talk Nats reports.
Impact Nottingham will add depth behind the dish for the Nationals and could be a candidate for a promotion later in the season. He flashed some power over 89 games with Triple-A Norfolk during the 2022 campaign by hammering 15 home runs, and he's registered six homers between stops at Triple-A Sacramento and Triple-A Tacoma through 34 contests in 2023.

Released by San Francisco Nottingham was released by the Giants on Thursday.
Impact San Francisco acquired Nottingham from the Mariners in May in exchange for cash considerations, but he has now been cut loose from the organization to free up space at Triple-A Sacramento for the recently-signed Jakson Reetz. Nottingham, 28, hasn't appeared in a major-league game since the 2021 season.

Traded to San Francisco San Francisco acquired Nottingham via trade from the Mariners on Thursday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact There's no word on the return for Seattle, so it's probably cash considerations. Nottingham hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021 and will head to the Triple-A affiliate of the Giants in Sacramento to operate as organizational catching depth.

Signs minor-league deal Nottingham signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact 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.

Let go by Seattle Nottingham was released by the Mariners on Tuesday.
Impact Nottingham appeared in 15 games between the Brewers and Mariners earlier this season, and he went 6-for-40 with three homers and six RBI. He was recently activated from the injured list at Triple-A Tacoma after missing the past three months with an undisclosed injury, and he's now headed for free agency.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Outrighted to Triple-A Nottingham was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Impact Nottingham's strange pattern of bouncing between the Brewers and Mariners will be put on pause for now. He'll remain in Seattle's organization and wait for the next time the team needs an extra catcher.

Designated for assignment again Nottingham was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Heads to bench Nottingham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Nottingham will sit for the second straight game while Eric Campbell picks up another start in the corner infield. The Mariners may prefer to keep the hotter bat among the two players in the lineup until the team gets one of its two banged-up regulars (Evan White and Dylan Moore) back from the injured list.
MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not in Tuesday's lineup Nottingham is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland.
Impact Nottingham found himself in the lineup in each of the previous four games since being claimed off waivers by Seattle on May 20. However, after recording just one hit while playing first base across those four tilts, the 26-year-old will sit against lefty Cole Irvin on Tuesday.
MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Finding regular work at 1B Nottingham will start at first base and bat seventh Sunday against the Padres.
Impact 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.

Impact Nottingham spent time with the Mariners earlier in the season, and he'll now return to the team after he was designated for assignment by Milwaukee on May 13. Catcher Luis Torrens was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma as part of a corresponding move, and Nottingham should compete for playing time with Tom Murphy going forward.

Impact Nottingham returned to the Brewers at the beginning of May while Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina were sidelined, but he'll now be cast off the 40-man roster once again after Narvaez was reinstated from the 10-day IL as part of a corresponding move. The 26-year-old went 3-for-14 with two home runs and four RBI during his most recent stint with Milwaukee.

His two homers Sunday represent half of his total long balls from 20 games in 2020.
