John Heyman of MLB.com has reported that the New York Yankees have signed catcher Chris Iannetta to a minor league deal. This is the second catcher that the Yankees have signed to minor league deals to further backup the Yankees designated backup catcher Kyle Higashioka.
The first they signed was Erik Kratz. The signing of Iannetta brings the former Colorado Rockie to the Yankee minor league system. While with the Rockies, he hit .222/.311/.417 with six home runs through 164 plate appearances. Those figures, although low, are not that bad for a backup catcher.
