\n Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka takes Post readers behind the scenes as he tries to stay prepared for the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic. As told to Ken Davidoff. <\/em><\/p>\n

I want to start this week by addressing something much more important than baseball. I don\u2019t normally post anything political or anything about social issues on social media<\/a> because I tend to listen more than I speak \u2014 mainly because I know I don\u2019t have all the answers. But I owe it to all my black teammates and coaches and friends, and other people who have had a huge influence on me over the years, to publicly say that I stand with them in the fight against racism in America.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019re better than this as a country, and what happ<\/a>ened to George Floyd was awful and very difficult to watch. Like I said, I don\u2019t have all the answers. I do know that my generation owes it to the world to make sure our kids and our grandkids are taught to never judge anyone by anything other than their character.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still in Oregon, and if you\u2019ve been reading my thoughts here the last couple of months, you know that I\u2019m an optimist about restarting the baseball season. I still think that something can be reached. I still think we\u2019re going to play this year. Under what terms, I don\u2019t know, but I still think we\u2019re going to play.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been pretty engaged, especially with our team representative Zack Britton (we had been in touch about once a week and now it\u2019s a few times a week) and also with my agents at Beverly Hills Sports Council. I\u2019m trying to share my two cents if I think I could maybe help.<\/p>\n

In terms of the negotiations between us and the owners, I don\u2019t bring emotion into it. I don\u2019t think the lack of progress is frustrating at all. To me, it\u2019s just a simple matter of we haven\u2019t yet found an agreement between both sides, so there\u2019s obviously some work to be done.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I\u2019ve been going strong with my workouts. A lot of the restrictions have been eased in Oregon, so I\u2019ve been able to go to a private gym and do everything there. I\u2019m no longer doing my catching drills in my in-laws\u2019 barn. All this time during the shutdown, I haven\u2019t had to take a break from any sort of workouts or hitting. I\u2019m still in game<\/a> shape. Not like \u201cgame\u201d game shape, but I\u2019m at that peak readiness of where I would be every offseason getting ready to go back to spring training.<\/p>\n

When or if we\u2019ll have spring training, we still don\u2019t know. But I remain hopeful that we\u2019ll have it \u2014 and a season. And I\u2019ll be ready.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
