Yankees Trade Deadline Targets | New York Yankees News
Description
The Yankees are on the move before the August 3 trade deadline, targeting a right-handed hitting outfielder, a righty-catching catcher, and reliable relievers to close the gap on Tampa Bay in the AL East. With offense sputtering outside Ben Rice’s hot streak and Aaron Judge’s return uncertain, adding another right-handed bat makes sense. Austin Wells’ poor hitting (.163) has made catching a priority, and Ryan Jeffers from Minnesota — a strong hitter (.287, .950 OPS) with a coaching connection — could be the answer. Meanwhile, top prospect George Lombard Jr. is crushing it in Triple-A, offering a potential internal upgrade. The Yankees are juggling external and internal options to turn things around and make a deep playoff run.
