Around the Empire: Yankees news - 5/13/2020

New York Post | Ken Davidoff: You probably haven’t heard of Montana Semmel, the Yankees’ 36th-round pick last year, but you should. The 18-year-old from Stamford, Connecticut has been working to raise money for the Stamford Health COVID-19 Pandemic Response Fund. After narrowly escaping contact with the virus, as his throwing partner was the infected player in camp, because he attended the funeral of Yankees scout Kelly Rodman, Semmel felt that “it was the right thing to do.”

NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: If the early-July Opening Day plan that Major League Baseball has proposed to the Player’s Association comes to fruition, the Yankees may wind as the biggest benefactors.
