The Rockies face no urgency making that decision. They could trade Goodman in the offseason, when teams are both more flexible with their rosters and comfortable incorporating new catchers. Or they could wait until the deadline next year, following the offseason or a later window.

With the trade deadline on August 3, league-wide trade chatter is quickly picking up steam. The Hunter Goodman trade chatter, in particular, has become louder over the last couple of days. Per Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic,

Hunter Goodman wasn't picked to compete in the Home Run Derby during All-Star Week, but he has plenty of suitors now. Goodman, the Colorado Rockies' power-hitting catcher, is drawing interest from several teams ahead of Monday's trading deadline.

Colorado's steep price makes sense. Goodman is just 26 years old and under team control for the next three seasons. Enjoying his second straight All-Star campaign, he has already matched his 2025 total with 31 home runs this season and boasts a career-best .872 OPS so far.

The New York Yankees are said to be hesitant to meet the Colorado Rockies' high asking price for All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman.

Maybe Hunter Goodman wanted to show the rest of baseball that leaving him out of the Home Run Derby was a huge mistake. Or, maybe it was just a day off on Saturday that gave him some pop back in his bat.

The New York Yankees have set their sights on Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, while also exploring options from the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles.
