In other New York baseball news, the Yankees officially announced the largest signing in franchise history and named Aaron Judge captain.
The Yankees made history … officially twice.It is hard to overshadow Judge or the Yankees or a record contract or the captaincy of the most important franchise in the sport. But we had known for two-plus weeks that Judge was returning on a nine-year, $360 million pact. And for pretty much just as long it was understood the captaincy was a perk likely to be attached.
The Yankees’ official announcement of Aaron Judge’s recod contract and captaincy may have been relegated to secondary New York baseball status.So they saw an avenue and followed the kind of overkill strategy that is now becoming Cohen’s blueprint, too. They forged a deal to put A-Rod at third next to the entrenched star shortstop, Derek Jeter, as sure as Cohen did by negotiating a 12-year, $315 million deal done with Scott Boras to station Correa at third next to Francisco Lindor.
But it is clear that the Yankees are not running unopposed any longer, as has been the case much of the last three decades. Brian Cashman tried to make the case thatin the multiple one-on-one charm offensives he put on Judge to make sure his biggest star would not leave. Normally Hal is as exciting as oatmeal. But getting Judge done while he was on vacation in Italy provided a nice international man of mystery to this retention.
