Around the Empire: Yankees news - 4/19/23

NJ.com | Randy Miller: Entering play yesterday, the Angels had a 40-percent chance of making the playoffs per FanGraphs. Should they cross into the true dog days of summer and fall further out of the playoff picture, they might be sitting on the ultimate rental target in Shohei Ohtani, a free agent at the end of the year. While it’s unlikely the Yankees will be able to land Ohtani in free agency, it’s at least plausible they could be bidders should the 2021 AL MVP be available on the trade market in July.

FanGraphs | Leo Morgenstern: Giancarlo Stanton is on the IL once again, with the same nagging hamstring injuries that have plagued him for a number of seasons.
