The Yankees do have an opening at first base with Anthony Rizzo becoming a free agent last weekend when the organization opted for a $6-million buyout instead of a $17 million club option for 2025.

Pete Alonso is one of the top power hitters on the market this winter, and New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters Tuesday that he has spoke to agent Scott Boras about the longtime New York Mets star.

Cashman said he had a brief conversation with Boras about “a lot” of his clients. Alonso received a qualifying offer from the Mets on Monday worth $21.05 million for next season that he’s expected to decline as he searches for a long-term deal.
