The Yankees are exploring a potential trade for Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman as they seek offensive support behind the plate. Despite impressive defensive skills from current catchers Austin Wells and Ali Sanchez, their batting has been subpar. Rutschman, currently on the 10-day injured list due to wrist inflammation, has had a strong season with a .764 OPS and eight homers. With a long-term future in Baltimore uncertain, the Yankees view him as a fitting addition as the trade deadline approaches.
