The Yankees fans must be living off some tough days because of Aaron Paul’s “free agent” status and the management’s inability to tie him in a new contract. Although the fans can have some relief after GM Brian Cashman‘s statement when asked about the proceeding involving Aaron Judge’s new contract.
“Have we engaged them since the end of the season? The answer is yes. If you could wave a magic wand, we would secure Aaron Judge and retain him and have him signed and happy in the fold as soon as possible” – said Brian. Aaron Judge is also being courted by other big teams such as San Francisco Giants.
Brian’s statement show a positive intent from the Yankees management but they would have to be pro-active if they are to grab the best prize in the free agency market. Aaron Judge is the hottest property in MLB right now thanks to his amazing season.
