"The Rockies have signed infielder Vimael Machin to a minor league contract, according to ESPN's Jorge Castillo. The agreement contains an invite for Machin to attend Colorado's big league Spring Training camp. Machin heads to the Cactus League in a bid to win a bench spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. He'll join Nicky Lopez and Chad Stevens as other MLB-experienced players the Rockies have recently signed as non-roster invitees,"
"The 32-year-old Machin played in 112 games with the Athletics from 2020-22, with 73 of those appearances coming in 2022 when the A's used Machin regularly at third base. This marked the end of Machin's MLB playing time for the next two seasons, as Machin spent the 2023-24 campaigns playing in the Phillies' farm system and in the Mexican League."
"After inking a minor league deal with the Orioles last winter, Machin hit .286/.347/.476 over 505 plate appearances with Triple-A Norfolk in 2025. This strong production earned him another ticket to the Show when Jordan Westburg hit the injured list in August, and Machin appeared in four games for Baltimore before he was designated for assignment and then outrighted off the 40-man roster."
The Rockies signed infielder Vimael Machin to a minor-league contract that includes an invite to big league Spring Training. Machin will attempt to win a bench spot in the Cactus League and join other non-roster veteran infielders as Colorado adds depth behind a young core. The 32-year-old appeared in 112 MLB games with the Athletics from 2020-22 and spent 2023-24 in the Phillies' system and the Mexican League. After signing with the Orioles last winter, Machin hit .286/.347/.476 across 505 Triple-A plate appearances in 2025 and briefly returned to Baltimore. Machin's career MLB slash is .204/.286/.264, but he offers positional versatility and two minor-league option years.
