Yankees consider trading for Ryan Jeffers to boost catcher position

The New York Yankees are evaluating options to acquire a catcher ahead of the trade deadline. With Austin Wells underperforming, the Yankees are looking at potential trades to strengthen their roster. Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins is being mentioned as a strong candidate due to his impressive.949 OPS before injury. Jeffers' ability to contribute offensively could be critical for the Yankees as they aim to solidify their playoff chances this season. The Twins are likely to be sellers, increasing the chances of a deal.
