Sooner rather than later, the New York Yankees are going to have to deal with Aaron Judge and his mega-deal. Judge, who signed a one-year, $10.175 million contract for the 2021 season, is arbitration-eligible in 2022 and a free agent in 2023.
It might be in the best interest of the Yankees to wait this upcoming season to see if he can remain healthy. Judge played in just 28 games last year out of 60, hitting nine homers and 22 RBIs.
Ultimately, Judge has struggled with injuries over the past three seasons, failing to play a healthy season’s worth of games.
