Will Hal Steinbrenner and Aaron Judge eventually end up in their own ball game?

Hal Steinbrenner spoke to The Athletic following the comment issued by Aaron Judge, “In no way, shape or form can [Judge’s contract situation] be a distraction, the sole focus is winning a championship. That’s all anyone needs to worry about right now.”

General manager Brian Cashman told reporters the deal Aaron Judge rejected was for seven years, $213.5 million. Judge said in April when the debate started, “I’ve been vocal about wanting to be a Yankee for life, I want to bring a championship back to New York. I want to do it for the fans here.”

“They’re family. This is home for me, and not getting that done right now, it stinks. But I’ve got a job to do on the field. I’ve got to shift my focus to that and go play some ball.”
