Diamondbacks re-signed 1B Mike Jacobs to a minor league contract.

The 33-year-old slugger performed well after signing with the D'Backs midway through the 2013 season, slashing .304/.365/.520 with 18 homers and 65 RBI in 82 games at Triple-A Reno in the hitter-friendly PCL. He'll presumably head to spring training with a chance to compete for a reserve role.

Jacobs was given his release by the Rockies last August after becoming the first athlete in North American pro sports to test positive for human growth hormone. The 31-year-old has a .253/.313/.475 batting line and 100 home runs over parts of six seasons in the major leagues.

Rockies released 1B Mike Jacobs.

He hopes to play again somewhere in 2012.

Rockies signed 1B Mike Jacobs to a minor league contract.

Jacobs spent most of the 2010 season with the Mets' and Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliates, batting a combined .273/.335/.482 with 21 homers and 91 RBI over 469 at-bats. He'll serve as insurance at Triple-A in case Todd Helton suffers another long-term injury.

A source told the Denver Post's Troy Renck that the Rockies have signed Mike Jacobs to a minor league contract.

Like Todd Helton, Jacobs is a left-handed hitter, so he probably won't fit on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. Still, he makes for decent Triple-A insurance as a fallback option in case Helton gets hurt again.

Blue Jays acquired first baseman Mike Jacobs from the Mets for a player to be named.

The Jays wanted a first baseman for Las Vegas after moving Brett Wallace yesterday. Jacobs was hitting .260/.313/.478 with 15 hmoers in 339 at-bats for Triple-A Buffalo. He opened the season in the majors with the Mets, but he had just 24 at-bats before being sent down.

Jacobs was designated for assignment last weekend after batting .208/.296/.375 in 24 at-bats. He cleared waivers on Wednesday, but took an extra day to decide whether to accept an assignment to Triple-A or become a free agent. In the end, he opted to remain in the Mets' organization.

Mike Jacobs has cleared waivers, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.

Jacobs was designated for assignment on Sunday after batting just 208/.296/.375 with a 7/3 K/BB ratio in 24 at-bats. It's not yet known if he'll accept a minor league assignment.

Mets designated first baseman Mike Jacobs for assignment.

Signed to a minor league deal this offseason, Jacobs had a golden opportunity to seize the starting first base job in New York after Daniel Murphy went down. Instead, he hit 208/.296/.375 in 24 at-bats, some of which came in the cleanup spot, where Jerry Manuel started him on Opening Day. The guess here is that Ike Davis is about to receive a promotion, leaving Jacobs, likely to clear waivers with the way he has played the last two years, the starting first baseman at Triple-A. His days as a starter in the major leagues appear to be over.

The Mets have designated Mike Jacobs for assignment to make roster room for Tobi Stoner, according to MetsBlog.com.

Signing Jacobs to a minor league deal was probably a worthwhile experiment for the payroll-stretched Mets, but the arrangement just didn't work out and it was time to cut the cord. He was hitting .208/.296/.375 in 24 at-bats prior to the move, a millstone around New York's early-season offensive neck. He was atrocious last season for Kansas City, too, so hope for a turnaround wasn't abundant. Stoner was needed for pitching reinforcement after Saturday's 20-inning victory over St. Louis. Since Daniel Murphy isn't yet ready to return, it's probably time to call up hyped first base prospect Ike Davis when Stoner is no longer needed.

Mike Jacobs went 0-for-4 and struck out twice as the Mets' cleanup man on Monday.

Because the Mets needed to have an easy out to break up the long at-bats from David Wright and Jason Bay? Jacobs isn't a horrible choice to play against righties while Daniel Murphy is out, but there's no good reason to bat him fourth.
