IF TRUE, YANKEELAND CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT AARON JUDGE RETURNING TO THE BRONX

I was just reading Twitter. It's weird tonight. Andrew Tate is back, there is plenty of parody accounts of all sorts of celebrities and I can't tell which is actual news and which isn't.  So I left because my anxiety was through the roof.

And then this report came out. Yardbarker has it but it originally comes from legend Bob Klapisch:

"For a piece published Friday, Bob Klapisch of NJ Advance Media noted that Judge "will allow the Yankees to finish as the highest bidder" after the new American League Most Valuable Player hit free agency last week. That update comes after Steinbrenner confirmed he had "very positive conversations" with Judge following the season, including one face-to-face meeting, and after Klapisch and others claimed that re-signing slugger Anthony Rizzo improves the Yankees' chances of keeping Judge through his physical prime.

"I saw it as a good sign that (Steinbrenner) reached out and wanted to sit down one-on-one and get a chance to talk," Judge explained during a Thursday conference call. "I saw that as a great sign."

Here's the thing, the bad news is this is going to drag on long, meaning, Judge is going to listen to EVERY SINGLE CLUB that has a legit chance of building a championship and winning one in the future. And he has that right and we will let him do it. And if I'm Judge, I go to January out of spite. Make the Yankees sweat!  Bryan Hoch tweeted this:


Now look, give Judge time. Let him test the market. Here's the good news for Yankee fans... We appear to be the ones that will get final say. 

So, what does that mean? It means if the San Francisco Giants go the Aaron Judge and say, "Hey, we wanna give you $310 million for 8 years", he can go back to the Yankees and say, "This is the offer from the Giants, they have a good group there, they wanna win, what do you think?"  

Hal and Cash can stand up and say, "Hey look, we will give you $312 million. You know these guys, the fans love you, we love you, and we want to make you our Captain for the next 8 years with a 9-year option."

Guess where he's going?

Case. Closed.

Do it Yanks... do it.
