The New York Yankees entered the offseason with many decisions to make to improve the team. Two of those decisions were made relatively quickly. The Yankees made it a priority to re-sign the second baseman and hitting champ DJ LeMahieu (so far unsuccessfully). They also had to decide what to do with their slumping catcher Gary Sanchez. When it came time to tender him a contract, they did. He will earn nearly $6 million this year. However, he will be the Yankees starting catcher, although backup catcher Kyle Higashioka will also see his share of games.
