Yankees may pursue free agent catcher Tyler Stephenson

The New York Yankees are considering adding a right-handed hitting catcher as roster changes loom after two years with minimal adjustments. Reports indicate that Tyler Stephenson, a free agent catcher who hit.241 with 14 home runs for the Reds last season, may be a suitable target. The Yankees currently have two left-handed catchers, and Stephenson could fill a gap in the lineup. Other teams like the Cubs, Rangers, and Angels have been highlighted as potential fits for Stephenson, who has also drawn attention for his blocking skills behind the plate despite some struggles with base running. The Yankees’ interest in his profile aligns with their needs this offseason.
