NEW YORK - The Yankees appealed the release of an investigative letter commissioner Rob Manfred sent to the organization in 2017.
In a 15-page document written by team president Randy Levine, the Yankees argued that the decision from a three-judge panel in March from the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upholding a ruling that the letter should go public, turning down an appeal made by the Yankees in 2020.
The letter contains details of Major League Baseball's findings from a investigation into the Yankees in 2017, when Manfred fined the Yankees and Red Sox, who received a heavier fine.
