Around the Empire: Yankees news - 11/17/22

The Athletic | Ken Rosenthal: In a late-breaking story from Wednesday night, Rosenthal revealed that Major League Baseball is investigating the Yankees and Mets. SNY reported at the beginning of November that the Mets will not bid against the Yankees for Aaron Judge in part due to Hal Steinbrenner and Steve Cohen’s “mutually respectful relationship,” which could be perceived as collusion and a violation of the CBA between the players and owners (particularly since both sides are capable of a bidding war for Judge’s services). Teams are not supposed to “act in concert” with other organizations, and any communications between Steinbrenner and Cohen may be requested.
