We need to have a conversation about Gary Sanchez.
The New York Yankees might be at a crossroads with their 28-year-old backstop. It’s already mid-May, he’s batting just .178, and is no longer the clear-cut starter over Kyle Higashioka. After a 2020 season more forgettable than The Emoji Movie, this is surely not how Gary Sanchez imagined 2021.
But there are bigger things to consider now that Sanchez’s struggles haven’t quite dissipated. The Yankees are just two games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East race and may seek to upgrade their lineup.
