Former ESPN analyst, Rich Eisen, tore down a Mets fan wearing a jersey with 99 Aaron Judge on the back. Eisen also said the New York Yankees have more than enough funds to keep Judge in the Pinstripes for the rest of his career.
All Rise is about to enter free agency following this season, and while Yankees fans want him to stay as a Yankee, other teams’ fans want Judge by their side.

But Eisen was not going to let that Mets fan go that easily without knocking him down. Getting angry would not even cut down to what Eisen was feeling after looking at Judge’s name on the Mets jersey.
The Yankees are not going to let Aaron Judge go
Yankees fans like Rich Eisen are pretty protective of their outfielder and want him to play the game only as a Yankee. After looking at the Mets fan’s picture wearing a jersey with Judge’s name, Eisen was enraged.
“Schmuck on wheels… You’re not getting him. He ain’t coming. Steve Cohen might have more money than god, he’s not getting him,” Eisen said.
Additionally, he said, “You can take him(Ohtani). You’re not getting Aaron Judge… You got many options…. stay out of my backyard, Judge ain’t coming.”

There is no doubt that Judge is the star player of the New York Yankees, and the fans want him to stay forever only as a Yankee. Judge has already fulfilled his January prediction of hitting 50 homers this season only in August.
Eisen made it pretty clear that the Yankees fans are not going to let Judge go without putting up one hell of a fight.
Can the Yankees afford to keep Judge on the team?
In the same show where Eisen made his feelings amply clear about Aaron Judge going to another team, he also talked about whether the Yankees have the funds to keep Judge on the team.
“The Yankees bought a piece of AC Milan.. for 1.2 billion dollars. Don’t tell me you don’t have the money to make sure Judge winds up anywhere but your own locker room,” Eisen said.
According to Eisen, the franchise has enough funds to keep Judge on its team. And that it would be the wisest decision to do so.
