The Yankees have signed veteran catcher Christian Bethancourt to a minor league deal, with plans for him to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Although the 34-year-old is not a long-term solution for their search for a right-handed-hitting catcher, he offers depth as insurance for potential injuries. Bethancourt, who has spent time in the Cubs system this season, has an MLB career batting line of .229/.259/.362. The Yankees are still exploring options, with potential targets like Tyler Stephenson and Jonah Heim, but competition is increasing.
