"Nido first joined the Tigers on a minor league deal in September 2024 after getting released by the Cubs. He elected minor league free agency at the end of the 2024 season, but reupped with Detroit in January 2025. This offseason played out similarly for the two sides. Jake Rogers went down with an oblique injury in April, leading to an early call-up for Nido. He hit .343 in 11 games with the big-league club."
"Nido handled backup catcher duties for the Mets in varying stints from 2017 to 2024. His most active year was 2022, when he appeared in 98 games and reached 313 plate appearances. Nido scuffled to a .600 OPS that season. His tenure with the Mets ended in June of 2024. The Cubs quickly scooped up Nido after his release from the Mets. He made 17 appearances with Chicago before they moved on from him."
Jake Nido is returning to the Detroit organization on a minor-league deal and would earn $1.5 million if he makes the major-league roster. He was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo in May, elected free agency in mid-October, and rejoined Detroit after initially signing with the Tigers in September 2024 following his release by the Cubs. Nido hit .343 in 11 big-league games during an April call-up when Jake Rogers suffered an oblique injury, then returned to Toledo when Rogers came back. The 31-year-old has MLB experience across four teams, is primarily a defensive catcher, and likely needs an injury to a primary Detroit catcher to regain a major-league role.
