Gary Sanchez reunion is timely reminder of Yankees’ stubbornness

The Yankees are going to see Gary Sanchez this week for the first time since the March trade to Minnesota.

A deal that was two years too late? Maybe three?

In hindsight, it is a bit remarkable how long they stuck with Sanchez. How much tolerance there was for his poor defense and lack of hustle. How much misplaced faith there was in his ability to hit like it was 2017 again, despite obvious results to the contrary. Heck, they fired Joe Girardi in part to cater to Sanchez.
