Yankees sign catcher Mitch Garver to minor league deal

The New York Yankees have signed catcher Mitch Garver to a minor league contract. Garver was released by the Seattle Mariners earlier this week after struggling this season, hitting.175 with a.626 OPS. Despite his disappointing tenure with Seattle, Garver has previously excelled, contributing to the Texas Rangers' 2023 World Series team and winning a Silver Slugger Award in 2019. This move comes after the Yankees sought catching help at the trade deadline but did not secure any notable upgrades. The team may give Garver a chance to improve their production at catcher, which has been a struggle this season.
