The Yankees nabbed their crown jewel of the offseason by re-signing outfielder Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract. It sounds like Judge preferred to be a Yankee and keep his legacy intact. But he’s probably also confident that New York isn’t done making impact additions to the roster.
After all, most of what the Bombers have done so far is bring back players who were on the 2022 squad. This includes the likes of Judge and Anthony Rizzo. That’s good because they were integral parts of a 99-win squad. But as we saw in the ALCS, the Houston Astros are far ahead of them.
