Around the Empire: Yankees news - 10/27/22

SI.com | Ben Silver: There’s a chance that the Yankees could lose 94 home runs from their lineup in a single offseason. Aaron Judge is of course the premier free agent, but Anthony Rizzo is likely to opt out of the $16 million remaining on his contract for 2023 and test free agency again after bashing 32 homers with a 131 OPS+ in 130 games last year, his best since at least 2019. This report is technically a couple days but deserves to be brought to light here because the slick-fielding first baseman was so important to the team in 2022.
