Giants sign former A’s catcher to minor league deal, changes behind the plate likely

Moments before the Giants opened their third game of the season against the Dodgers, the club announced it had agreed to terms with catcher Chris Herrmann on a minor league deal.

Herrmann spent the 2019 season with the Oakland A’s as he appeared in 32 games, hitting .202 with a .553 OPS. Herrmann opted out of a deal with the Tampa Bay Ra. . .
