Former Jets QB Mark Sanchez warns Zach Wilson that New York is a difficult market By Erin Walsh | Last updated 4/24/21
Zach Wilson is expected to be selected when the Jets are on the clock with the second overall pick. Because of that, the BYU product is making sure he s prepared to play in New York.
Wilson has spoken with a few former Jets quarterbacks, including Mark Sanchez, who said on the Pat McAfee Show that he told the young signal-caller to be ready to play in a difficult market. Sanchez said, as transcribed by SNY s Corey Hersch: My thing to Zach was, when you get into this market, most importantly, it s not about Do GQ or don t do GQ your rookie season. Understand who you are and what you want to portray yourself to be and understand what comes with all these decisions you re going to make in the media space. Because it s an unforgiving media. It s a difficult market.
The infielder has apparently left South Korea to undergo a physical in the United States, although it s uncertain which team he ll sign with, sources told Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Kim has received offers of five years or more from multiple teams, sources told ESPN s Daniel Kim this week. The Blue Jays offered Kim a contract of at least five years, added Kim.
San Diego, which reportedly acquired left-hander Blake Snell from the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, is making a serious run at Kim, according to ESPN s Buster Olney.
Kim has spent seven seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization, including the last two with the Kiwoom Heroes. He slashed .306/.397/.523 with 30 homers, 109 RBIs, 23 stolen bases, and 75 walks for Kiwoom in 2020. He s split time between third base and shortstop over the last two campaigns but has primarily played at the latter position throughout his career.
