Yankees Trade Rumors: Aaron Judge Contract Remains Focus over Juan Soto Deal

The New York Yankees are reportedly more concerned with the slugger on their current roster than one they may add via trade.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, an organization source said the front office is more focused on keeping Aaron Judge, who can become a free agent after the 2022 season, than trading for Washington Nationals star Juan Soto.

However, a rival executive pointed out, "Getting Soto would give them an excuse to move on from Judge—and they'd get the younger player, like the Braves getting [Matt Olson] after they couldn't sign Freeman."
