Yankees focus on catchers as trade deadline approaches

The New York Yankees are reportedly targeting catchers Hunter Goodman and Adley Rutschman ahead of the trade deadline. However, sources indicate that acquiring either player is unlikely. Goodman is considered a key player for the Rockies, while the Yankees may prioritize other options like Ryan Jeffers or Agustín Ramírez. The Yankees' current situation with catcher Austin Wells is concerning, adding urgency to their trade strategy. MLB trade discussions remain active as teams assess their rosters for postseason potential.
