The New York Yankees are viewed as the best potential trade destination for Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, who has a.949 OPS this season. Jeffers is currently sidelined due to a broken hamate, which raises questions about his availability at the trade deadline this summer. Despite his injury, the Yankees' need for a veteran catcher has intensified, as their current options have underperformed. Jeffers will be a free agent after the 2026 season, making him a more attainable target for the Yankees as they look to bolster their lineup.
