The New York Yankees are exploring trade options as the deadline approaches. Among their considerations is Anthony Volpe, who has seen fluctuating performance this season, including defensive struggles. As the team deals with injuries, particularly to outfielder Cody Bellinger, Volpe may be packaged in a deal to address multiple positions, including catcher. The Yankees have shown interest in several catchers, Hunter Goodman of the Rockies and Ryan Jeffers of the Twins, but reports about potential trades vary. General manager Brian Cashman has identified the catcher situation as a significant issue.
- •Yankees target catcher, outfield, and bullpen ahead of deadline.
