CATCHER JAMES MCCANN ON YANKEE RADAR

Nice little nugget coming from baseball insider Jon Heyman. I'm not a fan of Heyman as he's rarely right until after the fact, but that being said, this is a good one and one Yankee fans should take seriously considering Gary Sanchez may be on his way out.

This is interesting because for about 2 weeks now the Yankees were allegedly in on JT Realmuto.  Look, I don't need some high level catcher. You know what I want? A catcher that can catch, call a good game and hustle and trust me, there are plenty out there that can do that. James McCann is one of them.

James Kelly from Elite Sports NY writes:

"McCann is a good catcher. He’s not a superstar...He didn’t get a lot of run in 2020 behind Yasmani Grandal, but in 111 plate appearances, he slashed .289/.360./536 for an .896 OPS. ...

Defensively, McCann showed drastic improvements in 2020 in framing. He posted a career high in framing strike rate at 51.4%, a marked improvement over his 2019 performance at just 45.0%."

Oh yeah... and he will hustle.

Anyway look... it's just something to think about. It's the rumor season. Let's have alittle fun here.
