Trade Deadline Daily: Braves ask Yankees about Brian McCann

Flush with organizational depth at catching, the are-they-buyers-or-sellers Yankees are taking calls on catcher Brian McCann, who has 15 homers but is hitting just .235.

Context needed: the Braves generate a lot of ideas. And given that catching ATL need moving forward, they have asked NYY about Brian McCann.

Buster Olney's take: McCann is under contract for $17 million annually for 2017 and 2018. Yankees have their catcher in waiting in Gary Sanchez ready to go. McCann a Georgia guy, with Braves getting ready to move into a new park; he could be a gate attraction, like Freddie Freeman.
