Around the Empire: Yankees news - 4/18/23

New York Post | Greg Joyce: The Angels come to town this week for the only time in 2023, which means it’s Yankee fans’ last chance to see Shohei Ohtani play ahead of his much-anticipated free agency next winter. The Yankees courted Ohtani over five years ago when he was first available to MLB teams, and pursued him at last year’s trade deadline. The two-way superstar will almost certainly command well in over $400 million, meaning another pursuit of Ohtani by the Bombers will have to be OK’d by Hal Steinbrenner. We’re still months from Ohtani hitting the market, and the Yankees don’t seem like the favorites to land him from here, but the team will surely check on him when the time comes.
