The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have received an update regarding Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, potentially impacting their plans to address a need at the position.
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are both reportedly seeking upgrades at catcher, and were possibly eyeing Minnesota Twins’ Ryan Jeffers as a potential trade target. However, according to yahoo_sports, those hopes have been diminished by news regarding Jeffers' health.
Jeffers underwent surgery on Thursday to address a hamstring injury sustained while playing in the World Baseball Classic for Team Italy. The recovery timeline is expected to keep him sidelined for at least two months, significantly complicating any potential trade scenarios. This development effectively removes him from consideration for immediate acquisition by either the Yankees or Red Sox.
The source notes that both teams “could use an upgrade at catcher,” highlighting the reason why Jeffers was a player of interest in the first place. The injury throws a wrench into those plans, forcing both clubs to explore alternative options to bolster their catching depth.
