‘He’s Been Great’- New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman Breaks Silence Over Aaron Judge’s Contract

Aaron Judge is playing in beast mode this season. The New York Yankees star has been hitting headlines even before the start of the regular season. Notably, Judge is in the last year of his contract with the New York Yankees.

Since making his debut in MLB, Judge has played only for the Yankees. However, if the two parties do not agree on a new contract, this might be the last season that Judge will play for Pinstripes.

Earlier, during the free agency, the Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman did offer a new long-term contract to Aaron Judge. But it was not enough for Judge to sign the agreement. And he turned down the proposal. Notably, Cashman offered a seven-year contract worth a whopping $230.5 million. But, as earlier said, Judge preferred to go into his free agency.

Will Aaron Judge stay at the New York Yankees?

During the spring training in March, Aaron Judge clarified that if he does not sign his extension before the start of the regular season, he will not negotiate it during the season. Because he does not want to shift his focus from league games.

Now, when Judge is having an MVP level season, Cashman opened up about the extension of their star player. As per MLB journalist Bryan Hoch, Cashman said that he does not want to talk about it publicly. He also praised Judge for his consistent performances.

“We’re not going to talk about it now going forward,” Brian Cashman said. “Whether that means we’re not going to talk, I’m not saying that, but we’re not going to talk about it (publicly). But he’s been great. But that’s no surprise, because he is great.”
