NJ.com | Randy Miller: There are a lot of questions for the Yankees to answer over the coming months. One was resolved when they worked out a deal with Aroldis Chapman the other night, but plenty remain. Have we seen the last of Didi Gregorius, Austin Romine, or Dellin Betances? Might the Bombers make a legit run at any of the top free agents? Stay tuned to find out.

New York Post | Joel Sherman: After adding another year to Chapman’s contract, Sherman estimates how close the team will be to the 2020 luxury tax threshold of $208 million after everyone who is arbitration-eligible receives their respective raises. It doesn’t look like they’ll have too much wiggle room. It’ll be interesting to see whether Hal Steinbrenner opens up his wallet.
