Around the Empire: Yankees news - 1/5/21

CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson & Matt Snyder: A free agent rumor! And one that doesn’t pertain to one of the Yankees’ internal free agents at that. Mark Feinsand reported that the Yankees were among the teams showing some interest in outfielder Yasiel Puig, who was last seen in 2019, running a 99 OPS+ with 24 homers between Cleveland and Cincinnati. A possible deal with the Braves for 2020 was called off after he tested positive for COVID-19, so he ended up missing the shortened season.

NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: There’s been a fair amount of buzz surrounding Masahiro Tanaka’s free agency recently.
