#Gary Sánchez

One thing Yankees fans know about Gary Sánchez: even in his darkest times, with the highest number of balls bouncing behind him, the slugger still struck fear in the hearts of the Boston Red Sox. As Sánchez sits on the shelf for an excruciatingly long time this offseason - his first shot at free agency - it feels as if he'll either end up on a team…

Believe it or not, Red Sox spring training opens in just about five weeks. The roster is not complete quite yet, but the large majority of the 2023 team has already been put together, and it looks quite different than the group that last took the field at Fenway Park in early October. Boston's chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom entered the winter…

Former New York Yankees catcher Gary Sánchez didn't benefit from a change of scenery in 2022 in Minnesota, hitting.205 with 16 homers and a below-average 89 OPS+ after being freed up to play DH part-time. Apparently, that was also the Yankees' fault. Sánchez enters free agency after a walk year that can only be described as "The Opposite of What…

NEW YORK - Shortly before breaking camp, heading north for the beginning of the regular season, Yankees manager Aaron Boone made a resounding assessment of his ball club.

Still, there's always a good chance of sparks flying when these two clubs meet up, and before things get interesting this week, we wanted to chat with…

The annual MLB general manager meetings were held last week in Las Vegas, and the event is traditionally the rumor-filled calm before the storm. (It's also not to be confused with the winter meetings, which will take place in San Diego from Dec. 4-7 and is when a ton of wheeling and dealing goes down.) Free agents couldn't sign with new teams until…

The 2022 season might have ended in excruciatingly disappointing fashion for the Yankees, but that doesn't mean fans didn't get more than their fair share of highs along the way, even if the way the second half played out rendered the team's 99 wins perhaps slightly less meaningful than the number makes one think. Given that those 99 victories…

We have yet another New York Yankee who got off to a promising start and has somehow overstayed his welcome: Gleyber Torres. Fans wish it weren't this way, but Torres hasn't left anyone a choice. Gary Sánchez was once the poster boy of this eternal Yankees problem. He represented the front office clinging to talent they wish would continue reaching…
