Minor league catcher Tyler Heineman says he has signed with Giants

The big names get all the attention this time of year, but front offices also are busy filling minor holes on their organization's depth chart, and it seems the Giants did so recently with the addition of a minor league catcher.

Tyler Heineman, a 28-year-old catcher, announced that he signed a deal with the club. Heineman has played eight professional seasons and had a five-game cup of coffee with the Miami Marlins last season.

Super excited to say that I signed with the @SFGiants for 2020! Can it be spring already? pic.twitter.com/BJi2Wrvr6Q

Minor league additions in January generally don't move the needle much, but Heineman actually could be an interesting name to watch in spring training.
