The Yankees-Aaron Judge contract talks could turn personal if both sides don’t reach an agreement before Opening Day, Judge’s self-imposed deadline for a new contract.
TAMPA — Aaron Judge smiled at one question after another about his current contractual situation with the Yankees. This is his public posture. He smiles a lot.He sidestepped all controversy potholes. Judge is Jeter-esque in this way. He has a growing brand. He is not going to muddy it with a war of words with his employer. So he smiles. He defuses. He sidesteps.
. The $4 million gap between what he asked for if this goes to a hearing and what the Yankees countered at is life-changing for pretty much everyone on the planet. And if a deal is not done by Opening Day, do you think that will do anything but worsen the relationship? How about if they get to what in this lockout-disrupted year will be in-season hearings. The last time the Yankees and a player went to an arbitration hearing was 2017 with Dellin Betances. It was extremely contentious. And, yes, Judge, a rookie that year, remembers. You can dress it up, but teams go negative in hearings to try to win the case and save money.
Judge will believe he is among the best players in the game and should be rewarded in that way, which historically is to pay a player into his late 30s — or even their early 40s. At top dollar. In arbitration, there is a category of “special qualities of leadership and public appeal” that a player could cite to try to make his case. But, generally, arbitration comes down to cold stats.
