A real option for the NL Central Team is a former Yankees catcher
An NL Central team may consider adding a former New York Yankees catcher.
According to Robert Murray on Foul Territory, the Pittsburgh Pirates are considering former New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez. The 31-year-old Sanchez hit 19 home runs in his final season with the San Diego Padres in 2023.
If the Pirates sign a catcher, it will relieve pressure on Henry Davis, their top prospect who makes his big league debut in 2023. That could be beneficial to the 24-year-old’s development. His limited experience playing behind the plate in just two games raised concerns about his defensive prowess.
According to Murray, Sanchez’s total net worth will be close to $5 million.
If teams don’t think he can deliver value akin to what he produced with the Padres, that number may frighten them away. Sanchez’s catch of Blake Snell helped him win a Cy Young award, which might help the two-time All-Star stand apart.
