The Yankees are on a four-game win streak, improving to 34-22 and closing the gap on the Rays. As the trade deadline approaches, they are expected to target bullpen and catching upgrades, considering options like right-handed hitting catchers and relief pitchers. General manager Brian Cashman has indicated that prospect Carlos Lagrange may transition to a bullpen role, while current catchers Austin Wells and J.C. Escarra are underperforming. Potential trade candidates include Minnesota’s Ryan Jeffers and Cincinnati’s Tyler Stephenson, among others.
