Yankees pursue All-Star catcher amid trade deadline concerns

The New York Yankees are seeking a right-handed hitting catcher as the trade deadline approaches on August 3. The team has had discussions with the Colorado Rockies about acquiring Hunter Goodman, an All-Star catcher under team control for three more years. Goodman has shown strong offensive production, hitting.254 with 27 home runs this season. While the Yankees maintain interest, they haven’t contacted the Rockies recently, and acquiring Goodman may require a substantial trade package. The Yankees' current catchers rank last in the Majors in OPS and wRC+, emphasizing their pressing need.
