Moments after Aaron Judge had captured the AL MVP award Thursday night, Yankees GM Brian Cashman sent a congratulatory text. Judge responded.
Team Judge is driving this free-agent extravaganza, but the Yankees have put forth an offer since the last one - $213.5 million through 2029 – was rejected on opening day.
Of greater importance, “we’re on the clock,’’ Cashman said. “We’re certainly not going to mess around.’’“I thought that was a great sign,’’ Judge said of Steinbrenner initiating a one-on-one chat, though Judge wouldn’t talk about what, if anything, “moved the needle or not’’ in their discussions. “But definitely teams that we talked to, if we’re going to build a winning team, if I can get myself out of the way so that we can kind of move on and add some more pieces … that’s always an advantage for wherever I go,’’ said Judge.Another potential Bronx-leaning factor for Judge is his wish to build “a legacy to kind of live on within an organization.
“Whether he won the award or not… he’s been our team leader and our best player,’’ Cashman said.
