Hall of Fame member Iván Rodríguez sent a message to Gary Sánchez. And it is that the immortal of Cooperstown considers that the Dominican does not enjoy the game.
This is stated in the New York Post in an article written by Dan Martin. The Yankees expect Gary Sanchez to recover on the plate after his terrible 2020 season. That’s why they didn’t designate him by assignment this offseason and even gave him a bigger-than-expected $ 6,350 increase. .000.
Sanchez has worked on his swing with Yankees batting coach Marcus Thames and played winter ball in the Dominican Republic to improve his focus on the plate, he also has a different problem, according to Rodriguez.
“He doesn’t like baseball right now,” Rodriguez told WFAN. “He feels like … he’s coming to the stadium and it’s a depressing thing for him right now. That’s what I see when he’s playing.”
“I think he has too much pressure on himself,” Rodriguez said. “He’s trying to do too much. I’ve talked to him several times and he’s very positive. But Gary plays in an organization and in a city where you obviously have to do a good job almost every night.”
