Phillies Sign Tyler Heineman

By Anthony Franco | July 6, 2021 at 9:27pm CDT

The Phillies have signed catcher Tyler Heineman to a minor league contract, according to his transactions log at MLB.com. He has been assigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Heineman was released from a minors pact with the Cardinals last week. The switch-hitting backstop managed just a .254/.325/.313 line over 77 plate appearances with their top affiliate in Memphis. Heineman has generally been quite productive at the minors’ top level, compiling a .284/.351/.422 mark over six seasons in Triple-A.

While Heineman hasn’t seen any big league action this season, he did get to the majors in both 2019 and 2020. The 30-year-old has suited up for the Marlins and Giants, garnering 62 MLB plate appearances. The Phils have three catchers — J.T. Realmuto, Andrew Knapp and Rafael Marchan — on the 40-man roster.

      The Lehigh Valley doesn’t have much going for it in general. Let them get tourists any way they can.

    Heinie Manush was the best Heinie in baseball. Also, the Phillies have played like heinie for the majority of the season.

      With all due respect, that comment was asinine.

          Maybe it is time to (rear) end this conversation.

          I concur. Perhaps we could take a trip to Northern Ireland to enjoy the Londonderry air.

        There’s a hole in your theory.

    It’s good for depth move. JT and Knapp both have been on the DL this year.

    Trade brewing?

    Insurance if they blow it up and trade JT
    Or they plan on including Marchan or Knapp in a package

      Lol. Talk about reaching. Some signings are made for minor league depth.

        Never know man. I know how these things work but unless you’re the GM, etc, no one really knows.

        Bet you’re a blast at parties!

          “Bet you’re a blast at parties!”

          For laughing at a JT trade? No one is taking that contract. We can still have fun at parties though.

    some trades are made with trades on the horizon

    Possible trade bait. Not for him, but as a replacement for Marchan or Knapp if they are traded.
