CBS | Mike Axisa: We’re in the rumor mill phase of the offseason, too early in the winter for most of the big names to sign just yet. Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner confirmed in a preview for Monday’s interview with YES that the Yankees have had “positive” conversations with star free agent Aaron Judge, which at least sounds better than the Robinson Canó saga. It feels like both franchise and player are more interested in a continuation than they ever were with Canó, but you still have to pay that man his money.
New York Post | Dan Martin: The Yankees are also keeping tabs on their second-most important free agent departure, Anthony Rizzo.
