As Aaron Judge’s seventh season with New York with the team that wears the pinstripes is upon us this question comes to mind! Is a contract extension coming Aaron Judge’s way before Opening Day when New York the team that wears the pinstripes host Boston in Bronx New York for three games? Hal Steinbrenner provides update on Aaron Judge’s Contract Extension. The update was that talks with Judge’s representatives will happen soon and he said this about Aaron Judge. Judge is a very special player right, and a great Yankee,” said Steinbrenner, the team’s managing general partner. “We will be having conversations, I have no doubt, in the weeks to come. [There’s] not as much time per usual to figure out the needs we have, to figure out how to address them. My directive to [Brian Cashman] when the lockout ended was, ‘Let’s focus on the needs; we’ve got Aaron this year, so let’s focus on the needs and who we need to bring in to make this team better.'”

I think that's a pretty normal thing,” Steinbrenner said. “He's got things to focus on.

Aaron Judge had this to say about discussing an extension!

It would be “ideal” for an extension to be worked out prior to Opening Day, saying he doesn’t want “contract extensions or all that stuff to be a distraction throughout the year.”

Aaron Judge added that he hopes to remain with the Yankees for the duration of his career, though that is no certainty as he enters his age-30 season.

Aaron Judge is slated to become a free agent at the end of the season, and while the Yankees appear to have interest in keeping him in pinstripes for years to come, getting a deal done isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
