Gary Sanchez is so hot right now that he can even drive in runs when teams are trying to walk him.

Sanchez continued his torrid ways with a solo home run in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. In light of Sanchez’s home run and .700-plus slugging percentage, the team decided to take advantage of an empty base and intentionally walk Sanchez in the 8th with the score 3-1.

Instead, Sanchez swung at the first pitch from Enny Romero and sent a deep fly ball to center, which was enough to score a run:

Credit to Sanchez for being alert despite knowing the Rays were trying to walk him. If they’re going to loft a 53-mph lollipop up there that’s too close to the strike zone, why not go after it?

Mark Sanchez will reportedly sign with Cowboys after Broncos release

Mark Sanchez is headed to the Dallas Cowboys after being released by the Denver Broncos, according to a report.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Cowboys are Sanchez’s destination. The move came just moments after the Broncos saved a significant sum of money and a draft pick they would have given to Philadelphia had he made their roster.

Former Broncos and Eagles QB Mark Sanchez is going to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, league source tells ESPN.

With Broncos releasing QB Mark Sanchez, they save $ 4.5 million and don"t have to pay Eagles the conditional 7th-round pick.

Troy Renck of ABC Denver previously reported that the Broncos had been trying to trade Sanchez, with the Cowboys named as a suitor.

#Broncos still pushing to trade Sanchez as deadline approaches. Have had talks with #Cowboys… and multiple others. Keeping options open

— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) September 3, 2016

None of this is a surprise. Sanchez’s fate in Denver was sealed as soon as Trevor Siemian won the Broncos’ starting job. Trade talks had been ongoing, but Dallas was never going to give up much with the knowledge that Denver was never going to let that money and the draft pick go guaranteed. They knew that Denver would inevitably dump him, and were happy to wait it out and snap him up as soon as they did. Sanchez will serve as Dak Prescott’s backup until Tony Romo returns from injury.

Cowboys could reportedly face wrath of NFL for signing Mark Sanchez too quickly

It was a matter of minutes between finding out Mark Sanchez had been released and learning that he was headed for the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, according to the NFL, it may have gone down entirely too quickly.

According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, the Cowboys could be in trouble if found to have signed Sanchez before the league issued an official daily transaction report.

Cowboys may be in hot water with league for signing Sanchez before NFL issued official transaction report for the day, source tells PFT.

ESPN’s Ed Werder reported that the Cowboys claim they have not yet finalized a deal and are merely discussing the terms of a one-year contract.

#Cowboys insist they haven"t violated #NFL protocol, saying backup QB Mark Sanchez still has not signed. Discussing 1-year deal

— Ed Werder (@Edwerderespn) September 3, 2016

The team had reported on their official website that they “are expected to sign” Sanchez, though it shies away from making any pronouncement of a final, formal deal.

It’s all semantics, it appears. Sanchez will be a Cowboy in due time, and he will be Dak Prescott’s backup.
