What is Gary Sanchez doing to improve his defense during the offseason? What do you think the chances are that he can dramatically improve behind the plate?
-- Joe G., Ithaca, N.Y.
Sanchez's winter work has been slowed as he recovers from arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, and he will go into Spring Training as a rehabbing player, but the Yankees expect him to be ready to participate in catching drills and to be behind the plate on Opening Day.
General manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone were both asked about Sanchez at the Winter Meetings in December.
