“I Want to Finish My Career Here”- Aaron Judge Wishes to Continue With New York Yankees Amidst His Extension Negotiation

The past three-four months have been nothing but a rollercoaster ride for Major League Baseball. But while normalcy has resumed almost everywhere, the complications continue for the New York Yankees, who are yet to extend Aaron Judge’s contract.

Now, in a couple of weeks, the regular season will also start in MLB. Considering Aaron Judge is in the last year of his professional contract, he will become a free agent if the Yankees do not sign him before the season starts.

And as always, Judge has once again said that he wants to spend the rest of his career at the Yankees. But if the two parties do not agree on an extension, then he will be ready to enter free agency.

Notably, the current free agency hasn’t been a good one for the Yankees. After losing a few major free agents to their rival teams, the Yankees are struggling to extend Judge’s contract. The two parties have been negotiating for a new contract since a while now, but they are yet to agree on a deal.

Aaron Judge has been probably the most productive player for the Yankees in the last few years. And considering his impact both on the field and off the field, his extension should be a priority for the Yankees.

Recently, the Yankees star himself confessed his love for the Pinstripes. According to Max Goodman of the SI, Judge wants to spend the rest of his career at the Yankees. But at the same time, he also confirmed that if he doesn’t sign his extension before the Opening day of the 2022 season, then he’s likely to enter free agency.

“If it comes to it, maybe. But like I said before, I want to play here,” Aaron Judge said. “I want to finish my career here. There’s no better place to play. I’m hoping we don’t get to that but if we do I think I’ll be ready for it,” Judge said.

Not to mention, Judge has already clarified that once the regular season starts, he will not negotiate his renewal. During the season, he doesn’t want any distractions and will place all focus on the league games. With just a few days left until the season begins, do you think Aaron Judge will sign an extension with the New York Yankees?
