Gary Sanchez Settles With Yankees
5 years agoNew York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $5 million deal, according to a source. It's a pretty big raise for Sanchez in his first year of arbitration eligibility. He played in just 106 games due to injuries in 2019 and hit .232/.316/.525 with a career-high 34 home runs and 77 RBI. Sanchez swings and misses a lot, but the power is elite at his position, which is the weakest in baseball. With better health, there's a real possibility that he could reach the 40-homer mark in the Bronx in 2020. Sanchez is an elite fantasy backstop.
