Yankees Potential Trade Target: Sean Murphy

By now, you should be fed up with Gary Sánchez coverage. He will be entering his last season of arbitration with more questions than answers about his game, stats, and performance, especially on defense. His name has appeared on more than just a few articles on this site and across the internet.

Sánchez is less than spectacular defensively. He ranked 68th among catchers in Baseball Prospectus’ FRAA, which means Fielding Runs Above Average, with -2.3. Additionally, he was in the 15th percentile in Statcast’s Framing. His offense has been below average for two years now.
