With the conclusion of the World Series came the post-season comments from New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrunner. During his press conference, he mentioned the catcher position as one that needed revisiting.
General manager Brian Cashman also noted that they would be reevaluating catcher and potentially investing capital into upgrading the spot.
Of course, making a sweeping change at catcher would indicate the departure of Gary Sanchez, or simply the benching. Last season, Sanchez earned $5.6 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility. This was a significant raise from the 670K he earned in 2019.
