Diamondbacks Sign Albert Almora To Minor League Deal

By Anthony Franco | June 26, 2025 at 11:05pm CDT

The Diamondbacks have signed outfielder Albert Almora to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Reno. The move was announced by the minor league affiliate. Almora had been playing in Triple-A with the Marlins but was released last week.

A former sixth overall pick by the Cubs, Almora played parts of five seasons with Chicago as a light-hitting defensive specialist in center field. He logged a bit of time with the Mets in 2021 and appeared in 65 games for Cincinnati three seasons ago. The right-handed hitter turned in a .223/.282/.349 line through 235 plate appearances with the Reds in what remains his most recent big league action.

Almora spent all of last year in the Arizona system. He tallied nearly 600 plate appearances with Reno, batting .292/.349/.438 with nine home runs. That’s a solid slash line on the surface but is below average once one accounts for Reno’s status as one of the most hitter-friendly parks in affiliated ball. Almora never got an MLB look from the Snakes and signed a minor league deal with his hometown Marlins over the winter. He was batting .240/.289/.315 with their top affiliate in Jacksonville when they released him.

      He hasn’t been the same since he accidentally hit a ball that hit and injured a young girl. He needs to accept that it was an accident and he did nothing wrong. Beyond that, he’s never been a great hitter. I doubt he’ll get a call up. Anytime soon, if ever again.

    Good for him. I didn’t know he was still actively playing. I wish he would’ve worked out better for the Cubs. Until further notice he will forever have the greatest tag up play in world series game 7 history. He also has the most ran ever scored in a world series game. He was the go ahead run then they talked on another insurance run. His run, would’ve been the winning run if Maddon was able to trust his bullpen. Thank you Seattle for Mike Montgomery. Daniel Voyelbach we hardly knew you sir but he helped the Cubs win the world series too.

      Almora will forever be a part of Cubs lore for helping win in 2016. Hope he does well with Arizona!

    The Cubs have existed for 150 years. He got the most important 90 feet in Cubs history. If he never resurfaces in the majors, he will always have that, and so will we.
