The Yankees have been optimistic about their chances of retaining Judge, but were in the dark for most of Tuesday at the winter meetings about Judge’s plans.
Asked about what the Yankees would do if Judge signed somewhere else, Boone said, “I don’t even want to go there yet. But at the end of the day, we’re the New York Yankees, and we’ve always got to be in position to do everything we can to try and be the best we can be.”Whether that’s with Judge remained up in the air.
Added to the mix is the fact on Tuesday, Time Magazine published a story about Judge being its “athlete of the year” in which Judge expressed displeasure with the Yankees revealing the outfielder turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million extension before his record-breaking season. It was a sentiment Judge also expressed after the Yankees made the offer known and Boone was confident whatever displeasure Judge may have had regarding it wouldn’t be a factor in the negotiations.
“It only takes one [team] to take him from us,’’ Cashman said of Judge’s free agency. “It’s a danger. We’ve done it many times and it’s been done to us, too. We’ll see.”“If Judge signs somewhere else, do we pivot and do something else?’’ Cashman said on Monday. “Do we remake ourselves completely? I have no idea. It’s not what we want to do. … We’ll see how it all plays out. The way this winter is gonna play out could take us down a lot of different roads we didn’t expect.
