Giants sign former All-Star catcher Gary Sánchez to minor league deal.

The San Francisco Giants have signed former All-Star catcher Gary Sánchez to a minor-league deal, pending a physical. Sánchez, who won a Silver Slugger award and made two All-Star teams in his six seasons with the Yankees, will make a prorated $4 million salary for time spent in the big leagues. The signing gives the Giants another month to evaluate their catchers, including Roberto Pérez, Blake Sabol, and Joey Bart, who lost his claim to the position under a snowdrift of strikeouts and poor second-half framing metrics.
