MLB.com is reporting that the Giants have interest in free agent catcher Yorvit Torrealba. The Giants are preparing for life without Bengie Molina, and hope they can bring in Torrealba on a one year deal to share the load with Buster Posey.

Torrealba hit .291 in 64 games this past season, but is a .255 hitter. The Mets and Brewers also have some interest in the catcher.
