Look, this is the story of the Winter Meetings. Judge coming back is HUGE and if this story HERE is true, it's not all thanks to Brian Cashman, he had extra support from Aaron Boone and Hal Steinbrenner. We always knew the Giants were in the mix for Judge, we knew they wanted him badly. Leading up to the Winter Meetings I kept watching MLB coverage about Judge and MLB analysts kept saying they believed the Judge sweepstakes was only down to two teams.... there would be no mystery team. I didn't believe that for a minute.
Boone's phone call to Judge doesn't surprise me in fact I expect that considering how he is such a player's manager. I do know several Yankee fans though that were pleasantly surprised to hear that Hal himself reached out to Judge and asked if he wanted to be a Yankee and what it would take to get him back. Hal takes a lot of heat for not being like his dad and not having that same passion to want to win.... he just showed us that he does. Over the years I have given Hal a lot of crap, especially recently so it is nice to see him step up when it matters most.
Judge is a Yankee. He belongs in the Bronx, not back in his old stomping grounds. He's right where he belongs. Santa came early this year, and it feels good.
