Three American League East teams—the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays—are interested in acquiring Hunter Goodman from the Colorado Rockies as the MLB trade deadline approaches. The Yankees, facing offensive injuries, see Goodman as a significant upgrade at catcher. The Red Sox have improved markedly and view Goodman as a potential everyday catcher. The Rays, while needing overall lineup help, recognize Goodman could address their catching situation. Goodman, an All-Star with 31 home runs this season, has a strong control contract but is expected to come at a high cost.
