The New York Yankees are actively seeking to improve their catcher position this summer, aiming for Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies or Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins. Austin Wells's struggles, batting.155 in 66 games, have prompted this search for better offensive production. The Rockies intend to keep Goodman, who leads with 27 homers, while the Twins will only consider trading Jeffers if they fall out of contention in the AL Central. The team is also addressing the absence of Aaron Judge, emphasizing the need for additional offensive support.
