Yankees explore trade options for relievers and catchers ahead of deadline

With less than two weeks until the MLB trade deadline on August 3, the New York Yankees are assessing their needs. Manager Aaron Boone indicated the organization is in a fact-finding phase regarding potential trades. The Yankees are particularly focused on acquiring a swing-and-miss reliever and a right-handed hitting catcher to enhance their performance. Key targets include Mason Miller for the bullpen and Ryan Jeffers to improve catching production, as the team's current options have underperformed this season. While both areas are challenging to upgrade in the current climate, the Yankees are actively scouting for viable candidates.
