As presumed American League MVP Aaron Judge approaches free agency, many Yankees fans are hopeful that he’ll re-sign with New York. So it makes sense that the defining Yankee of the 21st century offered his view of what’s sure to be an unprecedented bidding war.
Derek Jeter, who spent his entire 20-year career in pinstripes, was asked about what he thought of Judge possibly leaving New York and said that while it’s every player’s goal to reach free agency, he has a hard time envisioning the star slugger playing anywhere else.
“As an athlete, this is what you look forward to: getting an opportunity [to be a] free agent … You have choices,” Jeter said. “You make the choice that you think is best for you and your family. I’m sure it’s probably gonna be a difficult one for him, I would assume.”
