Yankees could target Hunter Goodman or William Contreras in offseason trade

The New York Yankees missed an opportunity to upgrade at catcher during the trade deadline due to high acquisition costs. While Austin Wells has improved performance over the last month, the organization is expected to pursue a veteran backstop this winter. Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman remains a potential trade target, despite lingering questions regarding his defensive capabilities at the position. Goodman has recorded 36 home runs this season with an.865 OPS. If a deal for the Colorado slugger does not materialize, the New York Yankees may pivot their attention to Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras. Both players are viewed as significant offensive upgrades for the left-handed-dominant New York lineup, a move that would shift Wells into a backup role.
