The article details the recent status of catcher Hunt, who was unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment by the Mariners. As he has not accrued three years of MLB service, he will stay with Seattle's organization at Triple-A. Despite being traded multiple times since being drafted in 2017, Hunt has not yet played in a major league game. He is recognized for his defensive skills but has struggled offensively, maintaining a career batting average of .232 in Triple-A.
He hasn't been outrighted in the past and doesn't have three years of big league service, so Hunt does not have the right to reject the assignment.
Hunt is a glove-first catcher who draws strong marks for his minor league framing and blocking skills, in particular, per Baseball Prospectus.
