Miguel Andujar and his most current trade request have the help of at the very least one former teammate who recently received delivered out of The Bronx himself.
Twins catcher Gary Sanchez, the former Yankee who will face his previous team beginning Tuesday in Minnesota, went to bat for Andujar right after the left fielder questioned to be dealt following his Friday evening demotion to Triple-A.
“My impression, it is time for them or any other workforce to give him an option,” Sanchez told reporters through an interpreter, for every the Star Tribune. “He justifies to engage in in the major leagues. He’s carried out a very good task, offensively, but also defensively. He’s arrive a extensive way defensively, and he’s revealed that he’s able of being in the major leagues. It's possible he justifies an chance on a different staff.”
Immediately after Andujar presented a reliable stretch of perform as an injuries substitute about the very last two weeks, he was optioned back again to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as the Yankees lineup bought back again to entire energy.
Andujar has been asking to be traded considering the fact that the stop of previous year, without having a regular place on the Yankees’ roster, but reiterated that ask for following Friday night’s recreation on acquiring the information of his most recent demotion.
Sanchez, who was near with Andujar in the course of their time collectively in the Yankees firm, understood that line of contemplating.
“If I was in his footwear, I’d probably be thinking about the exact factor, asking for a trade, for a diverse state of affairs,” Sanchez claimed. “Because it’s definitely hard when you’re prepared, and when you have demonstrated that you’re completely ready at this level, to be sent down to Triple-A and play Triple-A when you are entitled to to be in the large leagues.
“… But at the exact time, none of us would make those selections. We are just here to do our job. Front offices come to a decision that. But I help him and hopefully anything operates out.”
In 12 video games with the Yankees this year, Andujar was batting .268 with a .596 OPS even though demonstrating defensive strides in still left subject. Nevertheless, he has been unable to develop constantly soon after staying the runner-up for AL Rookie of the Calendar year in 2018.
Andujar underwent shoulder surgical procedure the up coming period — and was supplanted at 3rd foundation by Gio Urshela, who was dealt to the Twins with Sanchez this spring — and has mainly shuttled amongst the Yankees and Triple-A since then.
