Yankees Catcher Panic and a Mets LOL Debate

from Evan & Tiki

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into whether the Yankees are truly operating with more urgency this season, starting with the possibility of keeping Yovanny Cruz after an electric outing and making tough bullpen decisions around him. The bigger concern quickly becomes Austin Wells, whose struggles have reached the point where sending him to the minors may be the best way to reset his season. The conversation expands into the Yankees’ lack of easy catcher solutions, possible roles for J.C. Escarra and Ali Sanchez, and why finding help at that position is so difficult. The guys also shift to the Mets, debating Luis Torrens’ value as a backup catcher and why some players get exposed when asked to do too much.
