6/12/25	Yankees Have One of MLB's Best Catchers. The New York Yankees have cultivated a reputation for developing catchers, and Austin Wells is on his way to becoming their biggest success story at the position since Jorge Posada.

After choosing not to sign with New York when it selected him out of high school in the 35th round of the 2018 draft, Wells wrote his name on the dotted line after agreeing to a $2.5 million bonus the second time around and played in his initial minor league games for the organization in 2021.
