The Yankees handled that jersey situation really well by giving it to the Sox to be auctioned off for the Jimmy Fund.
Should be worried about the blue jays on the road – it’s tougher to use fans to steal signs in another team’s ballpark.
I’d say it is tougher for a fan in centerfield to see the catchers signs and relay it back to the hitter 400+ feet away before the pitcher throws the ball. One of the lamest, most overblown conspiracy theories the Internet has come up with so far…
That article should be a reason that NY shouldn’t trade Sanchez. They are pretty much deadline deals. The guy has 120 ab in AA. Sure he is a good prospect, but he isn’t exactly pushing their hand yet. McCann deal is for 5 years, I’m sure they will be able to find room for Sanchez in another 2 years when he probably ready.
