The Braves released Coffey on Friday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Coffey was given a chance to make the club this spring, but he did not do enough to make a cut, and the Braves decided to give him a chance to pursue other opportunities.

Coffey agreed to a minor league contract with the Braves on Wednesday that includes an invite to spring training, Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Coffey will join fellow veterans Jose Veras and Matt Capps (among others) in the competition for a bullpen spot in the spring, after posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 in 36 appearances with the Mariners' Triple-A Tacoma affiliate last season. He did benefit from a .264 BABIP and 86.5% strand rate in 2014, however, which helped mask his post-Tommy John control issues. It's hard to imagine he'll be entrusted with many high-leverage innings in Atlanta.

Coffey was released by the Mariners on Thursday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Coffey was 4-1 with a 1.93 ERA over 37.1 innings from Triple-A Tacoma this season, and although he was clearly MLB-ready, the Mariners are currently working with a relatively crowded bullpen. Granting Coffey his release will allow him to sign with another potential playoff team that may actually be able to use his services down the stretch.

Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Mariners have signed right-handed reliever Todd Coffey to a minor league contract, pending a physical.

Coffey missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery, but he impressed scouts during a throwing session last week. The 33-year-old could be a useful bullpen piece for Seattle.

According to Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan, scouts in attendance at Todd Coffey's showcase Wednesday were impressed with the right-hander's throwing.

Passan said Coffey's fastball hit 91-92 mph with a slider between 82 and 84 mph. Coffey is coming off his second Tommy John surgery, a procedure that forced him to miss the entire 2013 season. Passan said Coffey could have a contract by the weekend.

According to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish, free agent reliever Todd Coffey will have a showcase for interested teams on Wednesday in Arizona.

Coffey threw for teams in January and didn't get an offer, but is apparently closer to 100 percent strength here in mid-May. He underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2012 and sat out the entire 2013 season.

According to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish, there are 9-10 teams showing interest in free agent Todd Coffey.

Cotillo's source says Coffey has been hitting 91-92 mph with his fastball in recent bullpen sessions and expects to be in the 93-94 mph range by next week. The veteran right-hander threw for more than a dozen teams in January and didn't get an attractive offer, but his market appears to be improving as Opening Day approaches. He underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in July 2012 and sat out the 2013 season.

Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish hears that at least nine teams want to see a second throwing session from Todd Coffey.

Coffey threw for 14 teams Friday, and it went well enough that the majority are interested in an encore. It's still unknown which teams were in attendance and which are in for a second viewing. The 33-year-old is working to return from Tommy John surgery, the second time he's undergone the procedure in his career. Coffey last pitched for the Dodgers during the 2012 season.

Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that 14 teams attended a showcase for free agent reliever Todd Coffey on Friday.

Coffey has been sidelined the last 18 months while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but is ready to make a comeback. He last appeared in the big leagues as a member of the Dodgers in 2012, where he posted a 4.66 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 18/9 K/BB ratio in 19/1 innings.

Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that "up to 21 teams" could be in attendance at Todd Coffey's showcase for MLB teams on January 17 in Arizona.

Coffey has missed the last year and a half of action while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 33-year-old last pitched for the Dodgers in 2012, posting a 4.66 ERA over 23 appearances. Coffey won't cost much more than a cheap cup of joe, as the best he could hope for is a minor league offer.

Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Todd Coffey is tentatively scheduled to hold a showcase for teams on January 17.

Coffey has missed the last year and a half of action while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He last pitched for the Dodgers in 2012, posting a 4.66 ERA over 23 appearances. The 33-year-old would make sense for someone on a no-risk, minor league deal.

Dodgers declined RHP Todd Coffey's $2.5 million club option for 2013.

He'll hit free agency and will receive a $300,000 buyout. Coffey underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in July and will likely be sidelined until after the All-Star break next year.

Dodgers placed RHP Todd Coffey on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow injury.

Coffey was knocked around a bit in an appearance Monday, but evidently he wasn't feeling right. Manager Don Mattingly called the injury "pretty significant," so it sounds like Coffey will be out for a while. He'll be replaced on the roster by Shawn Tolleson.

Dodgers activated RHP Todd Coffey from the 15-day disabled list.

Insert your own, "Nathan Eovaldi just came up for a cup of Coffey" joke here. Coffey was placed on the disabled list earlier this month with right knee inflammation. He appeared in only three games prior to hitting the shelf.

Coffey went on the disabled list earlier this month with right knee inflammation. He is expected to come off the disabled list on Sunday.

Dodgers placed RHP Todd Coffey on the 15-day disabled list with right knee inflammation.

Coffey should only need a short stint on the DL and could return to the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of April.

The Dodgers are expected to place Todd Coffey (knee) on the disabled list.

Coffey made a brief appearance in Friday's game but was pulled for what was thought to be performance issues. With veteran Ted Lilly (neck) scheduled to come off the disabled list and make his first start, the most likely move appears to be Coffey going to the 15-day DL.

Dodgers signed RHP Todd Coffey to a one-year, $1.3 million contract with a $2.5 million club option for 2013.

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that he'll make $1 million this season while the option includes a $300,000 buyout. Coffey saw decreases with his strikeout and ground ball rates last season with the Nationals, but still managed a 3.62 ERA over 69 appearances. Assuming Dodgers' manager Don Mattingly uses him appropriately (keeps him away from lefty batters), the 31-year-old right-hander should remain an effective mid-to-late inning bridge.

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Dodgers and reliever Todd Coffey have agreed to a contract.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that it's a one-year, $1.3 million deal with a club option for 2013. Coffey, 31, earned $1.35 million last season with the Nationals while posting a solid 3.62 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 60 innings. He should continue to be a solid bullpen option.

Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com in Minnesota reports that the Cubs and Athletics are among the teams showing the most interest in free agent reliever Todd Coffey.

The Twins were talking to Coffey earlier this winter, but Wolfson hears that they aren't considered a serious contender for his services. The 31-year-old right-hander earned $1.35 million last season with the Nationals while posting a 3.62 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 60 innings. He'll likely wind up with a similar contract this winter.
