There’s a lot of internet buzz about the Yankees and Blake Snell, and while there’s no evidence there’s been significant movement in talks in weeks — and the sides are at least chatting — a slight softening on the Yankees’ part was recently detected.

A Yankees person who’d been saying for weeks they are “done” seeking Snell only noted late this week that Snell’s camp would have to “move” (i.e. lower their demands) to get something done.

Based on the Yankees’ original offer, first reported by The Post weeks ago, the sides were about $100 million-plus apart (although at the time the Yankees were believed willing to go to a sixth year).

The short-term thought might be tough for the Yankees since a higher AAV (salary) adds tax money, and they’d still be giving up draft choices.

The Phillies are hoping to extend ace Zack Wheeler’s contract beyond 2024. Both sides are believed to have a keen interest in working it out. Philly is good about taking care of its best people.

Phils superstar Bryce Harper has eight years to go on his then-record $330 million contract but is very interested in an extension. Harper’s case is that he didn’t seek an opt-out when he did his deal to show other star free agents how committed he was to Philly, and he’s worked hard to recruit stars, many successfully, including Nick Castellanos and Trea Turner. He also did a video to try to lure Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

I’m not sure about a lot of things but pretty sure the Astros have the best bullpen back-end. They will use Josh Hader as the primary closer, Ryan Pressly at set-up and Bryan Abreu in the seventh inning.

It was good getting Jose Altuve locked up but it’s expected to be harder with Alex Bregman, who’s probably looking at the Xander Bogaerts deal.

Hyun-Jin Ryu is expected to go back to the Hanwha Eagles in Korea for $12M, but nothing’s official yet. I’ve seen he’s getting eight years, but come on! He’s 36.
