GARY SANCHEZ JUST SIGNED WITH A NEW MLB TEAM & HERE'S WHY NO ONE SHOULD CARE

No one cares, but we still need to report it playas!

The last time we spoke about Gary Sanchez we talked about how his signed with the Leones del Escogido of the Dominican Republic league. Read GARY SANCHEZ JUST FOUND A TEAM! if you want to chuckle.

Now comes word that he has signed with the San Francisco Giants. But this time it's a minor league deal.

MLB Trade Rumors writes:

The Giants have agreed to a minor league contract with free-agent catcher Gary Sanchez, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (Twitter link). Sanchez will make a salary of $4MM if he cracks the major league team..."

Now MLB Trade Rumors talks about improved defense with Sanchez and I have always been riding this guy as a pretty terrible catcher. Here's what MLB Trade Rumors says:

"Sanchez’s glovework did appear to be on the upswing in Minnesota. Twins brass was regularly complementary of the work that he put in, and Defensive Runs Saved went from dinging him at a -10 clip in 2021 to crediting him at +1 in 2022. Sanchez also posted positive pitch-framing grades per both FanGraphs and Statcast, and his 28% caught-stealing rate was a few ticks higher than the league-average 25%. On the whole, it was arguably the best defensive showing of his career."

I think this will be a huge factor on if this guy can get back onto a MLB club officially. We shall see, but the bottom line is that being sluggish and non-athletic for a catcher is pretty much a death sentence and that's why Sanchez has fallen as far as he has.

Good luck to Gary. Maybe this is new life for him. We shall see.
