NYY News: CC, other Yankees worthy of Hall?

FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe : The BBWAA will release the results of its annual Hall of Fame voting in three weeks time, so were right in the thick of discussion around who deserves induction.

Jay Jaffe spends more time thinking about Cooperstown than anyone else alive, and he treats us to the column making his case for which legends and near legends should be inducted.

Yankee fans will be happy to see CC Sabathia on the list, as well as a few other former Bronx Bombers.

New York Post | Mike Puma : Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki is reportedly trimming his list of potential suitors this week, having completed in-person meetings with all interested parties.

The Monster of the Reiwa Era also tasked each interviewing club with a data collection and messaging assignment, to best show how they would work with the analytically inclined pitcher.

The Yankees are likely on the outside looking in, but if Matt Blakes as good as we hope he is, that should be an area where they shined.

Mets Insider Blog | Jay Horwitz : As they say, a melancholy happy trails to Lenny Randle, who passed away yesterday at the age of 75.

An infielder who saw parts of a dozen seasons at the MLB level from 1971-82 and was perhaps most remembered for his amusing blooper blowing a ball foul at the Kingdome, Randle spent the most time with the Rangers and Mets.

He did, however, spend the last two months of the 79 campaign with the Yankees.

As recounted by Jon Bois in his Mariners documentary , Randle also had a fun second act as an otherworldly hitter in Italian baseball.

Rest in peace, Lenny.

Lastly, the Yankees made the signing of first baseman and former MVP Paul Goldschmidt official yesterday .

At $12.5 million a year, the club is hoping hell find himself closer to the 130-140 wRC+ stroke hes been on for about a decade, and retain his defensive prowess at the cold corner..
