Report: Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka extension talks gaining steam

The New York Yankees have yet to make any off-season moves following the World Series’s conclusion, despite most of the rumors and talks being centered around star infielder DJ LeMahieu. He recently rejected the Yankees’ qualifying offer on Wednesday and is now preparing to hit free agency with a full head of steam.

After turning in two impressive campaigns with the Yankees, he will be looking for a long-term deal worth big money, something the Yankees desire to offer DJ but don’t want to overpay on.

According to Dan Federico, the Yankees and starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka have also been in talks besides DJ.
