The New York Yankees are an iconic franchise in baseball. Very few MLB teams are as globally popular as the Yankees.  Understandably, such elite teams also have a passionate fan following. And given the large fan base of the Pinstripes, at times, the Yankees fans did not hesitate to criticize their favorite franchise. Speaking about the same, the Yankees’ catcher said he takes it in a positive way.

Remarkably, having won 27 World Series championships so far, the Yankees have established their status as a powerhouse franchise. No other team has yet to win more World Series trophies to date. Any MLB player that wins games for the Yankees turns into a hero and fan expectations rise to peak levels. But whenever the team fails, the fans go furious and jeer their players. Talking about the same, Jose Trevino said he loves the criticism.
