Yankees eye Hunter Goodman for offseason trade to strengthen roster
Summary

The New York Yankees have identified Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman as a potential target in the offseason. The team is looking to address several roster gaps after the 2026 MLB trade deadline, where they sought to bolster their catching position but did not complete a deal. Goodman, who has been recognized with two consecutive All-Star selections, has recorded impressive stats this season, including 33 home runs and an OPS of.870. New York is expected to compete with other teams for Goodman, whose contract still has three years remaining, adding to his appeal. As the Yankees pursue another World Series title, strengthening their lineup with power hitters remains a priority for their front office.
