MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Baseball Writers’ Association of America released its 2021 Hall of Fame ballot on Monday. The Yankees will have eight former players on the ballot, including A.J. Burnett, LaTroy Hawkins, and Nick Swisher as newcomers. Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Bobby Abreu are also among the names from New York on the ticket.

NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: It’s no secret that the Cleveland Indians are looking to trade Francisco Lindor. It’s also no secret that the Yankees have some interest in the All-Star shortstop. If the Yanks were to trade for Lindor, what would they have to give up?

NJ.com | Bob Klapisch: The Yankees have some questions to answer this offseason. Will they re-sign DJ LeMahieu? Which Yankee is most likely to be traded? Will New York make a run at Trevor Bauer? Bob Klapisch gives his insight on all of those questions as the offseason continues to progress.

NY Times | Bruce Weber: Former Yankees reliever Lindy McDaniel passed away at age 84. He notched a 2.84 ERA and 58 saves during the lean years between 1968 and 1973 while also etching his name in Yankees history as the last pitcher to hit a home run, a go-ahead shot in the ninth inning against the Tigers’ Mickey Lolich on September 28, 1972. McDaniel died from COVID-19 complications. If you must go out in public, please wear a mask.
