What happened: The Yankees have inquired with the Rockies about catcher Hunter Goodman, though the contact was not recent, according to ESPN's Jorge Castillo. New York has also viewed Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers as a target for its deadline need at the position. Goodman is batting .254 with 27 home runs and an .863 OPS in 90 games this season.

Why it matters: New York has lacked right-handed production from the catcher spot all season, part of a broader catcher search laid out in the club's recent trade mailbag. Goodman's three years of remaining club control raises what it would take for the Rockies to move him, per Castillo.

By the numbers: Goodman: .254 AVG, 27 HR, .863 OPS in 90 games with Colorado.

What to watch: Watch for renewed Yankees-Rockies contact on Goodman as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches.
