On a recent appearance on YES Network’s Yankees Hot Stove, Aaron Boone defended his All-Star catcher Gary Sanchez. It’s not the first time that he has stood up to his player. This time, he said that people are too harsh on their criticism towards the slugger. “I think he’s been unfairly criticized a lot. I think at times it’s over the top and people are blinded by some of the things that he’s done really well,” the skipper said on Monday.
After hearing those comments, Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay expressed his frustration. He heavily criticized Boone on his Tuesday ESPN Radio show.
