It's good that the Yankees are trying to nip this in the bud.
"Girardi said that Sanchez was told point blank that his defense must
improve after he permitted his Major League-leading 12th passed ball in
Friday's 7-2 loss to Cleveland. The manager said that Sanchez is 'physically fine,' but his issues blocking balls prompted backup Austin Romine to catch Sunday's day game following a night game.
...
Part of the issue may be that Sanchez has gained some weight, with
general manager Brian Cashman telling the New York Post that Sanchez had
put on eight-to-12 pounds of muscle over the offseason while keeping
his body-fat percentage the same. That may be limiting his flexibility,
with Cashman saying it was a matter of 'good intentions and bad
results.' "
