While the Yankees had been considered the favorites to keep their homegrown star — at least until this week at the winter meetings — Judge managed to pack plenty of drama into his free agency.
“Our owner spearheaded the efforts, as he stated he would do everything he could in his power to retain Aaron Judge,’’ general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday before the end of the winter meetings at the Grand Hyatt. “Rest assured, he’s putting his money where his mouth is in those efforts.”
It’s believed the Padres at least floated a 10-year, $400 million deal, meaning Judge likely left some money on the table. “They’ve done a good job holding their cards to the vest in regards to who they were seeing [and] what their intentions are,’’ Cashman said of Judge and his agent, Page Odle. “We had no expectations about when or how the decisions would be made.”
