CHICAGO --- New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann is as earnest as they come. When he says slipping on a pin–striped uniform is unlike any other, he sounds sincere. There is a championship expectation, which he says he loves.
In the winter prior to the 2014 season, the Yankees gave McCann a five-year, $85 million contract to be a key cog in the next group of championship teams. Today, McCann is basically a platoon player.
On Tuesday, he again sat versus a lefty. He only started one game against a lefty in June.
