He caught all 10 of Gerrit Cole’s regular-season starts after the Houston Astros acquired the 33-year-old catcher from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline last season. But a reunion with ex-Yankees manager Joe Girardi fell apart after the Phillies re-signed non-tender candidate Andrew Knapp.

Joe McCarthy, 1460-867, .627 W-L%, 2020 Yankees We present them here for purely educational purposes. He’s the perfect complement to Sanchez. I thought Sanchez looked like Lurch behind the plate in the ALCS.

In 70 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2019, he mashed 20 homers while hitting .278. He has a long pattern of too many defensive shortcomings.

“I think we have a distinct advantage by having Gary Sanchez as our everyday catcher,” Cashman said. Might through in Luke Voit as well.

Whether a catcher-needy team would sign Romine and give him a shot to start remains to be seen, though he has been a legitimately solid offensive backstop of late. Over that span, Cole posted a 1.57 ERA with 114 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings with Maldonado behind the dish. Whiffing is still the downside of Breaux’s game, as he struck out 27.3% of the time on the season, but that is not an unmanageable number for a power-hitting prospect.

As tempting as it is to predict who the Yanks might pick up from another organization, this decision is between Romine and Higashioka -- both drafted by the club and products of New York’s farm system. Reviews of his season indicated that he still had solid strike zone discipline at the plate, but questions are now out there about what his ceiling is on the offensive side of the ball. Agree.
