“I’ve Got a Job to Do”- Aaron Judge Gives Troubling Update Regarding Contract Extension With New York Yankees

Published 04/06/2022, 12:21 PM EDT

The New York Yankees are one of the very few teams that didn’t benefit from the 2022 free agency. After losing a few free agents, seems like they will also lose Aaron Judge by the end of the 2022 season.

The Judge-Yankees saga has been going on for over more than a year. And the two parties are yet to reach any deal for the extension. Notably, the New York Yankees’ talisman, Aaron Judge, is in the last year of his contract.

The opening day is just a day away from its kick-off, and if Judge doesn’t sign his renewal before the opening day, then the Yankees slugger will become a free agent after the 2022 season.

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are made for each other. But if the Yankees want their talisman to stay for a longer time, they must sign him before the opening day, otherwise, after the 2022 season, he will be free to negotiate with any MLB franchise.

Judge has been very vocal about his love for the Yankees on various occasions. But his recent comment indicates that the Yankees slugger might be playing his last year for the Pinstripes. As tweeted by Erik Boland of Newsday, Judge wants to win a championship in his last year for the Yankees.

Judge said it's crossed his mind this could be his last opener as a Yankee: “U think about it. But ultimately it comes down to I’ve got games to win. It’s been a while since Yankees fans have held a championship in the city so I’ve got a job to do…to go out & win it for them”

He wants to win the title, especially for the Yankees fans. It has been ages since The Bronx Bombers have won any major title in Major League Baseball.

Judge had already informed the Yankees’ management that he will not discuss his contract after the opening day, as he doesn’t want any distraction during the regular season. And given the current scenario, it looks like this will be his last year in the Bronx.
