Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was already going to be highly sought after this offseason as the All-Star was unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension with the club in spring training.
The impending price for Judge has only escalated after a historic season in which he hit 62 regular-season home runs to break Roger Maris’s American League record. Judge also drove in a league-best 131 RBI and narrowly missed out on the American League triple crown by hitting .311 to Minnesota infielder Luis Arraez’s .316.
The Yankees are hoping to retain their star outfielder, but general manager Brian Cashman knows it will be no easy task.
