Yankees get bad trade prediction on Orioles' All-Star catcher originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Yankees have the best record in the American League and can improve the roster at the trade deadline.
New York has a clear need for a right-handed hitting catcher. Austin Wells and J.C. Escarra have provided little on offense, and Wells' injury replacement, Ali Sanchez, is a short-term option.
ESPN's Buster Olney recently linked the Yankees to Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins, and he appears to be the best potential available backstop if the AL Central club decides to sell.
If Jeffers stays with the Twins or goes elsewhere, the Yankees could turn to the Baltimore Orioles. But the odds of the two AL East teams connecting for a trade seem unlikely.
