Why change when you can have more of the same?
This afternoon, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said team sources indicate that the Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing back catcher Tyler Heineman in 2023.
Source: Pirates bringing back Tyler Heineman. Would imagine on a minor league deal.
Played 52 games in Pittsburgh last year, hitting .211 with a .531 OPS. Makes sense if he or Jason Delay winds up as the other half of Perez/Barnhart/whomever, serving as bridge to Davis/Endy.— Jason Mackey (@JMackeyPG) December 12, 2022Mackey later added that it is a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
