NJ.com | Randy Miller: YES Network insider Jack Curry offered an update on the DJ LeMahieu contract negotiations while speaking on Yankees Hot Stove. An executive told him things would be very slow this offseason, sort of like a “cold stove,” which has been evident so far. “But here’s the ray of sunshine... the Yankees and DJ LeMahieu have had conversations. They have been positive conversations.” He explained that the Yankees put a number out there about what they think the player is worth, much like they did with Gerrit Cole last year, and ended up going a little higher. A similar scenario could present itself with LeMahieu, who’s said to be seeking $100 million on a multi-year deal.
