Sixty home runs later, we’re still talking about Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s looming free agency.
What we’re not talking about is how this could wind up helping the Yankees’ odds of re-signing him this winter. As things currently stand, Judge is the American League’s Triple Crown leader. He’s batting .316 with the aforementioned 60 home runs as well as 128 RBI.
So, about that seven-year, $213.5 million extension offered back on Opening Day? Not happening. It’s going to take a lot more to secure the home run-hitting services of one Aaron James Judge this offseason.
