Summary

The Yankees have a big decision to make regarding Aaron Judge. He will 31 in April and obviously is in high demand. He embodies everything you want in a Yankee but has a post season average of .211 in 44 playoff games. Personally, I wouldn't give him a HUGE deal over a long period of time. Yes, he puts people in the ballpark, but the Yanks are about winning titles. If you pay Judge a ton of money, how are you going to fix the other needs on the club? As hard as it would be to say goodbye to 99 I would do it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
