Signing Anthony Rizzo sets Yankees up to land Aaron Judge, MLB insiders say

Anthony Rizzo re-signed with the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Now that they have Ritzo, all eyes are on what the Yankees will do about Aaron Judge.

The Yankees signed Anthony Rizzo early to get him for a few more million. Joel Sherman suggests that the team wanted to retain Aaron Judge. The Yankees could have seen if QO chilled Rizko’s market and if Astro buzz was just leverage.

Anthony Rizzo's contract with the New York Yankees is worth $34 million. It includes a third-year option worth $17 million with a $6 million buyout.
