Baseball season is back in full swing after an interesting off-season. Among the many trades and trade rumors, Carlos Correa and Aaron Judge were perhaps among the most talked about entities. While Judge was pursued by many, he ultimately remained in pinstripes. Correa oscillated from team to team. At one point, he was even signing with the New York Mets. But after that deal failed, the shortstop went back to the Twins and the Mets were left feeling the absence of a star player.

Of course, their lineup has no shortage of amazing players currently. But with some struggles behind the plate, the Mets have still been on the lookout for talent. Now, it seems like they’ve finally found someone, who just so happens to have played in New York before.

Gary Sanchez signs a minor league contract with the New York Mets

Gary Sanchez is a former catcher for the New York Yankees, with whom he played from 2015-2021. He burst on the MLB scene as a promising talent, even winning Rookie of the Month in his debut season. After a brief stint with the Minnesota Twins, Sanchez played Triple A for the San Francisco Giants. However, after the 2020 season, the catcher has struggled with putting up numbers.

Opting out of his Giants contract to become a free agent on May 2nd, Sanchez is now joing the New York Mets on another Minor League contract. While the current plan is a Triple A assignment, the Mets are reportedly hoping to bring him up to the big leagues soon.
