Angels bring back catcher Heineman on 1-year deal
The Angels have secured veteran catcher Tyler Heineman for the upcoming season with a one-year contract valued at $1,237,500, effectively bypassing the arbitration process. During his time with the club last year, Heineman proved effective at managing the pitching staff, which maintained a 3.80 ERA while he was behind the dish, and he also demonstrated defensive proficiency by throwing out over 31 percent of base stealers.
Additionally, the team signed left-handed reliever Sammy Peralta to a Minor League pact that includes an invitation to participate in Spring Training. Peralta previously appeared in 20 1/3 innings for the organization last season, recording a 6.20 ERA.
