Nottingham, a 28-year-old catcher, recently signed a minor league deal with the Mariners and has been playing for their Triple-A affiliate, Tacoma.

In his 17 games with Tacoma, Nottingham has showcased some power, hitting four home runs. Despite not playing in the major leagues since the 2021 season, Nottingham will now join the Giants' organization and provide much-needed catching depth.
