A former Toronto Blue Jay is sticking around on the West Coast.
Catcher Tyler Heineman has signed a one-year, $1.237-million contract with the Los Angeles Angels, the team announced Friday.
Heineman, who spent parts of five seasons with the Blue Jays, joined the Angels after being picked up off waivers this past year.
In his time in Anaheim, he batted .192 with a .470 OPS and went without a home run in 44 games. His lone round-tripper last year came with the Blue Jays, with whom he hit .154 with a .410 OPS.
A seven-year vet who has split time between MLB and the minor-league levels since first getting the call in 2019, Heineman has a career .220 batting average with a .586 OPS and five home runs, all but one of which came with the Jays.
Beyond the Jays and Angels, the 35-year-old has suited up for the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, Miami Marlins and Boston Red Sox.
