The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with Jarrod Saltalamacchia. The 30-year-old catcher was released by the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, one month into the second season of a $21 million, three-year contract. Saltalamacchia is to report to the team's spring training facility in Scottsdale, then be sent to one of the Diamondbacks' affiliates, probably Triple-A Reno. He is a career .240 hitter with 90 home runs and 320 RBIs in 718 games over nine seasons with Atlanta, Texas, Boston and Miami.
