While the Giants and Dodgers continue to battle it out for a chance of signing Aaron Judge, the Yankees still remain ahead of the two teams to retain Judge. This of course comes as no surprise with Judge being open to staying home.
If the Yankees can offer Judge the right price, there’s little indication of why he’d end up leaving despite knowing the value he will command until he is signed. While the Yankees remain all in to bring Judge back, the Dodgers have other priorities to fill as well (via Jon Heyman, New York Post).
