Yankees' Catching Situation Heats Up Ahead of Trade Deadline. As the August 3 trade deadline draws near, the New York Yankees are reportedly considering bolstering their catching corps, a move that may spell trouble for Austin Wells, the team's young catcher. With Wells struggling to establish himself behind the plate, the Yankees are likely to explore external options to address their needs, potentially leaving Wells on the sidelines. As the team looks to make a deep postseason run, their search for a reliable catcher is becoming increasingly urgent, and Wells' future with the team is hanging precariously in the balance.
It’s too late at this point for Austin Wells to do anything to keep the Yankees from looking to add a catcher before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
