Around the Empire: Yankees news - 12/7/23

Stay tuned for more. For now, here’s some other news.

Doing so would take the Yankees past the final level of MLB’s luxury tax, ironically dubbed the “Steve Cohen tax” out of the fear the deep-pocketed Mets owner would obliterate the existing salary structure.
