The Yankees don’t need major changes at the moment. They have the best record in baseball (16-6) after about a month. The rotation is humming, the bullpen is buzzing, they have four legitimate options in the outfield, and five everyday players to shuffle around the infield.
But they need a starting catcher.
Trading Gary Sanchez wasn’t the wrong move, but there needs to be another one coming. The Kyle Higashioka-Jose Trevino platoon isn’t cutting it. Not by a longshot.
For years, Yankees fans convinced themselves that Higashioka could be an everyday catcher because he’s solid defensively and Sanchez was as frustrating as any player on the team.
