Aaron Judge free agency: What's in the Yankees' future with slugger?

Aaron Judge is weeks away from free agency. The Yankees have fallen short of a World Series in the last five seasons. They are about to enter MLB's postseason tournament again.

Aaron Judge turned down a $213.5 million contract extension and entered his free agent walk year. He hit a league-record 62 home runs in 2022. The Yankees GM Brian Cashman says it's a bet on his success. Judge is driven and ready to play in the postseason. The team plays Tuesday night's best-of-five Division Series opener against Cleveland. It's the first World Series since 2009.

Yankee fans are wondering if Aaron Judge is taking his final swings as a Yankee. He is 31 in April and is a free agent. If he stays a Yankees, he will join the exclusive immortal pinstriped club. He grew up rooting for the Giants. Cashman was impressed with the way he navigated the season. The Yankees have enough starting pitching and a good bullpen. They have some lineup deficiencies.
