The New York Yankees sign veteran catcher Mitch Garver to a minor league contract, according to multiple reports. The move is described as an effort to add depth at the catcher position for the Yankees organization. The New York Post frames the signing as a response to the Yankees not acquiring a catcher at the trade deadline, while other outlets focus on the team’s need for additional catching options. Coverage indicates Garver is joining the organization rather than immediately becoming a major-league roster player. One report also characterizes Garver as a former award-winning catcher, noting his past success. Overall, the available sources agree that the Yankees are bringing Garver into their system on a minor league deal, positioning him as organizational depth while he competes for opportunities. No sources provided details here on contract length, assignment, or performance expectations beyond the general intent to bolster the catching mix.
