The Yankees face three scenarios as they negotiate with Aaron Judge on the free agent market: 1. How do we improve around Judge? 2. How do we pivot if Judge leaves? 3. How do we proceed if Judge delays his decision?
Reading the tealeaves on Judge's decision wherever possible, Time Magazine - in naming Judge its Athlete of the Year - revealed the slugger's annoyance about the Yankees' late March decision to make public the $213.5 million, seven-year extension he rejected.
Steinbrenner added that he would explain to Judge, if the subject came up, that it was"my call, be mad at me. But here are the reasons why.'' On the No. 3 scenario, Judge has already stated his preference to sign sooner than later, allowing his team to build a contender around him. That could mean playing on the remaining elite shortstops market despite the high-end youngsters on the horizon.
Japan’s Masataka Yoshida would be among the “players we would have to consider’’ once he joins the free-agent market, Cashman said.
