The Yankees will likely be active at this summer’s MLB trade deadline as the team looks to improve its roster ahead of a World Series push. As it stands, there are a few areas which stand out as possible positions for New York to address at the end of July.
For one, the need for more offensive production at catcher is glaring. Austin Wells and JC Escarra haven’t provided much at the plate this season, so adding more of an offensively adept backstop to the mix would be a big move for the team—though with offensive production at the position down across the league, and starting-quality catchers rarely being traded midseason, that would likely prove difficult.
