Yankees Eyeing Bullpen, RH Catcher Before Trade Deadline
Multiple reporters confirm New York's front office plans to pursue relief pitching and catching help as the deadline approaches.
The Yankees sit at 34-22 and are considered likely buyers at the trade deadline. Reports from The Athletic and New York Post indicate the front office is targeting both bullpen reinforcements and a right-handed hitting catcher. New York trails the Rays by just 1.5 games in the division while holding a strong Wild Card position. The catching market is notably thinner than relief pitching at typical deadlines.
