The Yankees are not taking any chances with their catching depth now.
The team added their third veteran catcher of the offseason on Tuesday, signing ex-Met Josh Thole, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported. Thole has not played in the major leagues since 2016, spending time in the minor-league systems of the Tigers, Dodgers and Angels.
Thole, a career .242 hitter, joins Chris Iannetta and Erik Kratz as the Yankees’ catcher signings since Austin Romine signed with the Tigers. The Yankees are likely hoping none of them make the major leagues and will provide insurance behind Gary Sanchez and Kyle Higashioka.
