Gary Sanchez Is The Backup Catcher For The Yankees

In ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney's weekly call with Levack and Bahl he made it very clear that New York Yankees' Gary Sanchez is not only catching on thin ice, but that ice may also have already broken. Buster also shared his thoughts on if the Yankees have turned the corner, Is Francisco Lindor in real trouble with the Mets, and were the Angels wrong to DFA Albert Pujols.

With the way Yankees catcher, Kyle Higashioka is not only calling and catching games but has also outperformed Sanchez in the batter's box, Sanchez may be catching tonight but not much after that. Buster even thinks the Yankees could end up trading to strengthen their catching options as the season goes on and maybe add a lefty bat. listen to Buster Olney's full appearance with Levack and Bahl on 1045 The Team ESPN Radio below.

I do love the idea of "Higashioka THE HOMERUN STROKER" being in more games and clearly so do most of the Yankees pitchers.
