Megastar slugger Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees seem to be the perfect match in baseball. In the present day, Judge is the iconic global representation of the sport. Whereas, the Yankees are probably the most popular and elite baseball team with the largest fanbase worldwide. However, Judge’s term contract with the Yankees has ended, and he is thus a free agent now.?
The Yankees slugger rewrote baseball history in the recently concluded MLB season and took his team into the playoffs. His performances were worthy of a World Series honor. But unfortunately, the Pinstripes got ousted in the postseason, and Judge couldn’t fulfill his ambition of a title victory. Now with Judge entering his free agency, the Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman has expressed a desire to retain him.
