Yankees Eyeing Twins Catcher Ryan Jeffers at Trade Deadline
With New York's catchers posting the worst wRC+ in MLB, multiple reporters are connecting Jeffers to the Yankees ahead of the deadline.
The Yankees' catching corps has been one of the worst-hitting groups in baseball this season, with a collective 44 wRC+. Austin Wells is batting .155 and backup J.C. Escarra has been optioned back to Triple-A. Ryan Jeffers of the Twins has emerged as a widely discussed trade target to address the position. No deal has been reported, and this remains speculative media-driven chatter rather than a confirmed agreement.
