The New York Yankees should reconsider a trade for Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers, though any deal should come with strict limitations, according to analysis published Friday.
Langeliers, 23, showcased his offensive potential during a September 24 game at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, where he recorded a single in the third inning against the Houston Astros. The Athletics backstop has drawn attention as a potential trade target for New York as they evaluate catching options.
Any potential acquisition would require careful valuation given Langeliers' age and team control, with analysts suggesting the Yankees set a firm ceiling on prospect capital or major league talent included in a package.
