Why Austin Wells Shouldn't Be New York's Starting Catcher In 2027 Season Why New York Should Pursue Ryan Jeffers Who Was Minnesota’s Catcher In 2026 Season Who Is Free Agent

In 2026 Austin Wells who is catcher for New York the team that wears the pinstripes in regular season had 334 at bats contributed offensively 39 runs, had 62 hits 14 home runs 32 runs batted in 4 stolen bases had a batting average 186. In 2026 postseason Austin Wells had 15 at bats contributed offensively 2 runs, 5 hits 4 runs batted in had a batting average of 333.

I don’t think Austin Wells should starting catcher for New York the team that wears the pinstripes in 2027 season because Austin Wells wasn’t hitting producing runs offensively consistently. So who could New York the team that wears go get that is a free agent that could help them do that?

At the Trade Deadline of 2026 season Hunter Goodman of Colorado Jeffers though neither of those trades happened. Hunter Goodman is under contract with Colorado until the season 2030 while Ryan Jeffers is entering free agency. . In 2026 season for Minnesota Ryan Jeffers had 317 at bats contributed offensively 49 runs, 81 hits, 14 home runs, 56 runs batted in 1 stolen base while having a batting average of 256.

According to https://www.mlb.com/player/ryan-jeffers-680777

I think Ryan Jeffers would be a great addition to New York the team that wears the pinstripes because Ryan Jeffers could provide run support for a team that scored 4.59 runs in 2026 regular season.
