Here are the latest minor moves from around baseball, with the newest transactions at the top of the post…
- The Brewers have acquired catcher Tyler Heineman from the Astros, as per the Crew’s official Twitter feed. Houston receive cash or a player to be named later in return. Heineman, 25, was an eighth-round pick for the Astros in the 2012 draft and he has a .283/.361/.399 slash line over 1543 career minor league plate appearances. Heineman has been assigned to the Brewers’ minor league camp, and he looks slated to provide the Crew with some extra catching depth while Andrew Susac is on the DL with a trapezius issue. Manny Pina and Jett Bandy look to form Milwaukee’s catching corps on the Opening Day roster.
Wonder what this means for Rene Garcia and Cody Decker…
With a slash line like that why was he traded??
I’m not are why, but he’s never been consider an MLB caliber prospect, despite having solid hitting numbers in AAA.
Heineman is a good defender. Brew Crew get a good back up for the future. I, personally, dont think he’ll hit enough to start, but he does draw a good amount of walks. And if his hit tool does work out…he’s an All Star
Your body is telling me no, but your name’s telling me yes.
