MLB.com | Mike Petriello: Suffice it to say that media discussion of Aaron Judge’s contract negotiations is not going to end any time soon. As Petriello points out, Judge’s decision to decline the Yankees’ eight-year, $230 million package is of course within his rights, but carries some risk for him. When healthy, he’s one of the best hitters in the game, but he does have a history of injuries and is turning 30 soon. His age probably puts a limit on what teams will be willing to be offer. But the Yankees letting him walk away would leave a huge hole in the lineup, with not many players (if any) they’d be willing or able to acquire who could match his production.
