Rockies All-Star Catcher Hunter Goodman Tunes Out Trade Buzz, Keeps up Power Surge as Deadline Nears
Goodman has tied his career high with 31 homers as the Rockies weigh whether to demand a steep prospect haul for their cost-controlled catcher.
- With the Aug 3 trade deadline approaching, the Colorado Rockies are reportedly considering dealing catcher Hunter Goodman. ESPN's Jorge Castillo reported Thursday that the team may be inclined to part ways with the slugger.
- Following reigning MVP Aaron Judge's 60-day injured list placement, the New York Yankees intensified their pursuit of a catcher. CBS Sports reporter Dayn Perry noted the team seeks "multiple splashes" to fortify their roster ahead of next month's trade deadline.
- Goodman remains under team control through 2029 and has matched his career-high with 31 home runs this season. He strikes out 24.6% of the time, providing power that could yield a significant return in prospects.
- Two agents suggested that acquiring Goodman would require four prospects, including one in the top three and a second in the top 10. The Rockies are reportedly one of three teams operating as "declared unloaders" under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta.
- While trading Goodman offers immediate pitching help, the front office faces pressure to retain core talent. People familiar with the organization's thinking say they would need to be overwhelmed to part with their All-Star catcher.
