​PHILADELPHIA — The Yankees have three weeks to address their weaknesses, three weeks to deal for a catcher who can give them a lot more offense than they’ve been getting from Austin Wells and Co.They have three weeks to add another high-leverage arm to a bullpen that has been the best in the majors.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIf general manager Brian Cashman can pull all of this off before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, the Yankees might be the team to beat in October, and not just in the American League.Trade rumors suggest the Yankees are pursuing two National League All-Stars who aren’t close to free agency, slugging Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman and flamethrowing Padres closer Mason Miller.The Rockies, whose 39-59 record is the worst in the NL, will be sellers, but it’s unknown if they’d pull the trigger on unloading Goodman if the Yankees or another contender throw out a hard-to-turn-down offer.They plan to keep Goodman, a right-handed hitter who is batting .254 with 27 homers and 51 RBI in his second season, USA TODAY baseball writer Bob Nightengale recently reported. But would the pitching-starved Rockies change their mind if the Yankees offered two of their best pitching prospects, say Carlos Lagrange and Ben Hess or Elmer Rodriguez, plus rookie outfielder Spencer Jones?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt’s also far from a sure thing that the Padres, who are 3 ½ games out of the last NL wild-card spot with a 48-48 record, would deal Miller. They haven’t given up on the season, and just last summer, outbid the Yankees and others to pry Miller from the Athletics.Both Miller and Goodman are game-changers who could be the final puzzle pieces to the Yankees winning their first World Series since 2009.The Yankees are +550 to win the World Series this season over on BetMGM.

I think we’re doing the right things going forward. I think we’re working on the right things, and the things that we’ve changed are going well, and I think we’ve seen in the way we played this year. It’s been a lot better baseball. And other than that, I don’t really have anything. I try not to think about it. It’s out of my control.”The Rockies are on pace to improve from an MLB-worst 43 wins in 2025 to 64 this year, but that’s still a long way from contending in the NL West, which includes the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers.The Yankees also have been tied to Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, who is batting .292 with seven homers and 28 RBI in 39 games in his
