After a decisive ALDS Game 5 win against the Cleveland Guardians, the Yankees are headed back to the ALCS for a rematch with the Houston Astros. That’s the main focus for the Bronx Bombers right now. But still, the Aaron Judge free agency saga likely lingers in the background for general manager Brian Cashman.
One has to imagine Cashman will do what’s necessary to retain their homegrown star. It also seems unlikely that Judge would leave the Bronx and head across town to play for the Mets. However, after a Wild Card Round exit, lots of players heading into free agency, and plenty of money to spend, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Amazins at least throw their hat into the ring.
