Brian McCann was a consummate professional this past season as he was eventually fazed out by the phenomenon known as Gary Sanchez. Never one to utter a discouraging word about his teammates or managerial decisions, the writing was on the wall for McCann by early September — that in 2017, he would no longer be an everyday player for the New York Yankees.
