"The agreement is a homecoming of sorts for O'Keefe. The veteran catcher made his MLB debut with Seattle back in 2022. He appeared in 10 games with the Mariners from 2022 to 2023. O'Keefe went to Spring Training with the Twins the following year, but was cut in March. He landed in Kansas City as a minor league free agent. He launched 18 home runs with a 130 wRC+ in 72 games with Omaha in 2024."
"St. Louis took O'Keefe in the seventh round of the 2014 draft. He was a well-above league-average hitter in the Cardinals system, but never made it beyond Double-A. O'Keefe ended up in Seattle's organization in December 2019. A Curt Casali trip to the paternity list led to O'Keefe's first callup. He spent a bit more time with the big-league club following a injury."
Brian O'Keefe signed a minor-league contract with the Seattle Mariners and was invited to MLB Spring Training. O'Keefe previously debuted with Seattle in 2022 and appeared in 10 games for the Mariners across 2022–23. He attended Spring Training with the Twins but was cut, then signed with Kansas City as a minor-league free agent. O'Keefe produced 18 home runs and a 130 wRC+ over 72 games with Omaha in 2024, earned a Royals Spring Training invite, then returned to the Storm Chasers before a midseason release. The Mariners currently have Cal Raleigh as their primary catcher and added depth pieces including Andrew Knizner and Jhonny Pereda while extending Spring invitations to O'Keefe and Jakson Reetz.
