Ibanez and the Mariners agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Aug 17Rotowire

Ibanez was released by the Mets on Thursday, and it took only a few days for him to find his next opportunity. The 33-year-old has gone 2-for-23 with five RBI and one run scored over 23 at-bats in 14 contests with the Athletics and Mets this season. Ibanez batted .269 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored over 31 games with Triple-A Syracuse, and he will report to Triple-A Tacoma with his new organization.

The Mets released Ibanez on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Aug 13Rotowire

Over 38 games at four different levels (including 31 contests with Triple-A Syracuse), Ibanez slashed .310/.338/.469 with five home runs and 22 RBI across 157 plate appearances. However, in his brief time in the majors with the Athletics and Mets in 2026, he has recorded only two hits in 23 at-bats.

Ibanez cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

May 16Rotowire

Ibanez was jettisoned off the 40-man roster to make room for top prospect A.J. Ewing, but the former will stay put with the Mets after clearing waivers and work as organizational depth. The 33-year-old went 0-for-6 during his time with the Mets and owns just a .202 OPS in the majors this season.

The Mets designated Ibanez for assignment Tuesday.

May 12Rotowire

The club needed to free up a spot on its 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of A.J. Ewing. Ibanez was a waiver claim of the Mets in late April but hardly played, going hitless in eight plate appearances.

The Mets claimed Ibanez off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Apr 30Rotowire

The A's designated Ibanez for assignment Sunday, but he'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot by moving to the Mets. He'll fill in as a depth piece in New York, though he isn't likely to see many opportunities after posting a .285 OPS in 18 plate appearances with the Athletics.
