Gary Sanchez signed a minor-league contract with the Mets and can make his MLB return soon. Talkin’ Baseball quoting Jon Heyman shared, “The Mets are calling up Gary Sanchez.” The news comes as no surprise, as the Mets have felt a void in the squad after Omar Narvaez’s injury. Even though rookie Francisco Alvarez replaced him in the team, the results have not been the best for the squad. 

Meanwhile, Gary Sanchez does not need any introduction. The player comes with the experience of over 660 games under his belt. He has scored 341 runs averaging 0.225 during this period. Sanchez has 401 RBIs and 154 Home runs to his credit and has been involved in 718 strikeouts during his career.
