Coleman signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman returned to affiliated baseball in 2018 after spending time in the independent Atlantic League, though he struggled to a 6.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 28.2 innings with Triple-A Iowa. Given his career 5.72 ERA across 177.2 major-league innings, Coleman will likely be viewed as an organizational depth piece.

Coleman signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday and was assigned to Triple-A Iowa, the Des Moines Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman had been pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League, recording an 0.96 ERA in seven games (six starts). The 31-year-old last pitched at the major-league level in 2014 and has a career 5.72 ERA in 177.2 big-league innings but could now be just an injury or two away from an emergency call-up.

Coleman cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha. The right-hander turned in a 2.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 34 appearances (67 innings) with Omaha last season, but it wasn't enough to save his spot on the 40-man roster, as the Royals bumped him in favor of Yohan Pino last week. Coleman has never been able to miss bats at a high clip (6.1 K/9 in the minors) and his struggles at the major league level (5.72) may preclude him from getting a chance in the Royals' stacked bullpen in 2015.

Coleman was designated for assignment by the Royals on Monday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports. Coleman was the resulting casualty of the Royals signing Yohan Pino to fill the void in the starting rotation. The resulting move will send him to the minors if he goes unclaimed, though he could still end up in Royals' spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Coleman was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Josh Vernier of Fox Sports Kansas City reports. Coleman will provide the Royals with another arm out of the bullpen in September. He pitched 3.2 innings with the Royals earlier in the season, allowing one earned runs and four hits. Coleman will get another opportunity to pitch out of the bullpen for the Royals in September with the expanded roster.
