Around the Empire: Yankees news - 12/18/22

Sports Illustrated | Max Goodman: The Yankees are bumping right up against the “Steve Cohen” luxury tax threshold of $293 million after signing Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodón, Anthony Rizzo, and Tommy Kahnle this winter. If they want to continue adding players without breaching the threshold — or at the very least give themselves some breathing room below it — they will need to shed some money and Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks are the two most frequently mentioned candidates. However, in the least surprising news of the winter, the Bombers have been unable to find takers for either players — understandable given how far each player has regressed and how much money each is owed.
