Optioned to minors
The Mariners optioned Hunt to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hunt entered spring camp as the fourth catcher on Seattle's 40-man roster, immediately making it unlikely the 25-year-old would break camp with the MLB squad. He performed well upon arriving at Triple-A for the first time last season, slashing .261/.315/.513 across 127 plate appearances. If Hunt gets hot at the plate again this season or the Mariners run into depth issues behind the dish, Hunt may have a shot at making his MLB debut this year.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The Padres spent the 69th pick in the 2017 draft on Hunt, largely based on his tools and size. Since, he's drawn strong reviews for his development in three minor-league seasons and a summer at the Padres' alternative training site. Specifically, Hunt handled his first stint at Low-A well at the plate, striking out at just a 17.8% clip. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound backstop hasn't hit for much power in real games, but he hit some impressive shots this past summer. Even more encouraging has been Hunt's progress behind the plate. He's focused on improving his framing ability, working to complement his already strong arm and ability to limit the running game. Hunt was dealt to the Rays in the offseason, and is likely to reach Double-A for the first time assuming a relatively normal minor-league season. Though still a decent distance from the majors, Hunt's first steps as a professional have been positive.
