The New York Yankees catcher, Gary Sanchez, to his credit, is playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic League. He is hoping playing winter ball may sharpen the skills that caused him to have the worst season of his young career. This is the first time he has played in the Dominican League in six years. Unfortunately, his debut Friday night was not encouraging.
After a horrible season for the Yankees, it was questionable whether the Yankees would trade him or not tender him an offer and let him become a free agent. In a move surprising to many, the New York Yankees offered him a contract for play in the 2021 season.
