Mets Claim Catcher Ben Rortvedt Off Waivers from Dodgers

Catcher Ben Rortvedt has been claimed off waivers by the New York Mets from the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking his third team this offseason. The Dodgers had signed him for $1.25 million but designated him for assignment due to being out of options. The Mets made room by placing Dedniel Núñez on the 60-day injured list. With four catchers now on the 40-man roster, Rortvedt's long-term status with the Mets remains uncertain.
