Chris Haft of MLB.com writes that the San Francisco Giants have signed right-handed long reliever Todd Wellemeyer to a Minor League contract with an invite to big league Spring Training.

Giants vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said, “We’re looking at him right now more as a long man” — a reliever capable of pitching multiple innings.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets had interest in signing Wellemeyer this off season.

Wellemeyer, 32, was 7-10 with a 5.89 ERA in 28 games (21 starts) for the Cardinals in 2009. You can Wellemeyer’s contract history and statistics here.
