From the article:

“We kind of said, Hey, let’s keep this between us.' I was a little upset that the numbers came out," Judge told Sean Gregory of TIME Magazine. "I understand it’s a negotiation tactic. Put pressure on me. Turn the fans against me, turn the media on me.

"That part of it I didn’t like."

This was based on his offer from last year. Not the current one on the table.
Ok, the one from April.

If he is still lingering that, then that is not good. While I agree it was a bad thing to do, it is also time to move on. It is a business. And he won. He bet on himself and won.

...some here thinks Judge's agent leaked the Yankees offer, but why would Judge's agent leak that the Yankees are "poised to increase depending on how much the San Francisco Giants (or other suitors, like the Los Angeles Dodgers) are willing to spend"?

It makes no sense for Judge's camp to leak that. It essentially is scaring off other teams from even making an offer, since according to the anonymous source it likely would be matched.

IMO, that leak was clearing from the Yankees, to scare off other teams and to preemptively save face if Judge actually does sign elsewhere.

This is not the first time I have said this, go back and look at the Yankees threads during the season. I know somebody close to the Judge circle. I would not expect you to believe that based on today but go back and look at my past posts on this matter during the season.

I absolutely believe it. Not sure if anyone else seen Yankees Hot Stove last night but they had Cashman on from the winter meetings. They asked him if he had a meeting scheduled with Judge since he’s supposed to be arriving on Tuesday and Cashman said they had nothing scheduled and actually didn’t even know Judge would be in town. He said he found out from the same media reports everyone else seen.

That cannot be a good thing that Judge is going to meet with teams and didn’t even bother to tell Cashman
I don't have any information of what he is going to do  
Essex : 12/6/2022 1:58 pm : link
just to be 1000000% clear. He might be making Cashman sweat it out because he felt like Cashman sold him out by leaking it. I just know how he feels about Cashman.

I think he leaked the numbers not to put pressure on him, but to show the fanbase that he made a strong offer. Let's not forget, many in the fanbase thought he did at the time. It was Judge who changed the equation with the year he had. I think it was pretty much accepted that once he leaked the numbers there was going to be no deal because the season had started.

Yeah but that's still a weak "CYA with the fanbase" move. And if Judge ultimately leaves, I bet that turns out to be a big part of it.

Well, the Yankees giving Cashman his 4 year deal before Judge signs anywhere is either a power play by Hal/Cashman ahead of signing Judge (ie- we might give you 9 years & $350M, but Cashman isn't going anywhere) or an extremely dumb move if that is the thing which makes Judge bail to SF.

The other part, per your note above, Judge going to San Diego without telling the Yankees, and if he does sign back with them, could be his own way of giving Cashman the finger. But in the end, it's all a business and he will make the business decision based on $$. I just can't see the Yankees getting outbid for him when it comes down to it.

It seems like they’re not going after Judge as aggressively as they went after Cole. It sounds like Cashman is already making excuses for why they couldn’t sign Judge. It reminds me very much of the way the A’s pretended to be a interested in signing Giambi when the Yankees were going after him.

Right there with you. My 7 yr old son will need therapy. He idolizes judge.
Here's my prediction  
Doubledeuce22 : 12/6/2022 2:48 pm : link
- Judge goes the SF
- Yankees sign Carlos Rodon, he immediately regresses back to the 4 ERA a year pitcher he was and only pitches half the season because he's always hurt
- Trade for Bryan Reynolds and he is another Aaron Hicks
- Throw a ton of money at Correa which stunts the growth of Peraza and Volpe. Correa is not as good as advertised. They realize Bogarts should have been the target almost immediately.

This seems like a typical Trashman route to go.
George would have recognized that Aaron is more than his HR's  
GiantBlue : 12/6/2022 2:52 pm : link
He makes people watch his at bats, he brings fans to the stadium, he is one of those "it' players.

George would have used a big/long deal to his PR advantage.

Hal seems to be the opposite. He isn't the Wilpons by any stretch, but he seems to not see the enjoyment/benefit of signing the splashy guy and then go on a publicity tour!

George loved the spotlight and Judge is the guy pointing the light. George would step in and Hal seems to avoid it.

DanMetroMan : 12/6/2022 2:55 pm : link
this is much-ado about nothing. He's talking about how he felt before this season (a historic ridiculous season where the fans more than embraced him). This was a feature in Time Magazine and he was asked to look back at how he felt. I'm not saying 0% chance he leaves but it'll be over terms/money/years and not because they hurt his feelings almost 12 months ago. Sports owners/management trying to turn fans on players is slimy but also nothing new. Lou Gehrig/Joe DiMaggio faced exactly that.

Quote:
DiMaggio joined the camp of his old Pacific Coast League team, the San Francisco Seals. The level of invective coming from Florida increased, with Yankees manager Joe McCarthy telling the press that the team could “get along without DiMaggio,” and that the $25,000 offer would not be raised, to which DiMaggio responded, “Well, maybe McCarthy knows what he’s talking about, maybe he doesn’t. But the contract… they sent me is gone with the wind. Just say I’ve lost it. They’re going to pay my price or else.” Meanwhile, the other holdouts slowly came to terms. When Gehrig signed a $39,000 deal on March 12, DiMaggio was left as the only unreconciled Yankee.

Ruppert took the occasion of Gehrig’s signing to blast DiMaggio in the press. “DiMaggio is an ungrateful young man and very unfair to his teammates, to say the least. He wants $40,000 and I’ve offered $25,000, and he won’t get a button over that amount. Why, how many young men earn that much? As far as I’m concerned, that’s all he’s worth to the ballclub, and if he doesn’t sign we’ll win the pennant without him.”

It's been reported he already has been offered 360 by NYG over 9 years and that he's looking for 10 years, so he may reach 400 (but likely won't).

Can we stop with the What George would do. George didn’t have a luxury tax to deal with. He also really didn’t have to compete with a lot of teams. As I have said before. When George was suspended there was a standing ovation at the stadium.

Other teams are going to know anyway. Because Judge's agent KNOWS what the Yankees have offered and can use that information even if it was never leaked.

The leak, IMO, is a PR maneuver from the Yankees. I think they know they aren't going to spend what it takes to keep him, so they put this number out there for the world to see that they did their best.

I think Judge will be in a Giants uniform next April at Yankee Stadium.

I'd  
DanMetroMan : 12/6/2022 3:21 pm : link
be pretty shocked to see Xander move off of SS at the start of his next deal. He has a shot to put together a resume good enough to put him in the HOF discussion. 34.2 fWAR so far, he's an unlikely candidate but Jimmy Rollins 49.2 fWAR is 14th since the end of the deadball era (1921) and his name is kicked around as a potential HOFer. He'll have to age well but he has a shot to be in the mix.

At least Xander is a good player. I can only speak for myself, but if they let Judge walk, then I’m gonna have to take a break from this team that I’ve loved my entire life. One of the 5 most valuable franchises in professional sports can’t be losing their best player because of money or the fucking luxury tax. On top of that, only an idiot would trust Brian Cashman to use the money not spent on Judge to build a highly competitive team. He’s the same guy that gave Jacoby Ellsbury that idiotic contract.

So what? What value does it hold to release specifics? Shit, no one believes half the shit they read these days anyway.

Don't say shit. IF he walks, you release a statement on what u offered then or even just be vague and say we make a top line offer. Or say we offered 340 million, why now? IKt accomplishes nothing.

No Mitch, if Judge is offered a totally ridiculous amount as Robinson Cano was and Judge accepts it, most fans will understand. What annoys fans such as myself is that half hearted effort the Yankees seem to be making here. Judge is not only the best position player in baseball, he's a generational talent and he's the heart of the franchise and yet Cashman/Hal are treating him like a generic free agent. We're hearing bullshit excuses that he's 31 years old and is therefore not entitled to the type of contracts lesser, albeit younger players have been offered. Meanwhile the Mets are going to be paying a higher AAV than Judge has been offered to 2 aging pitchers. Judge and his agent certainly remember how they opened the vault for Cole when they were competing only with themselves. Judge is probably thinking if they can give a pitcher 9 years, they can give him 9 or 10 years.

40 mil x 10 years is not an unreasonable offer for Judge. Stop fucking around and put it on the table. I'll make another prediction. Judge will be more useful in the last year of his contract than Cole will be in his last year.
I don’t think it’s possible for Judge to hate Cashman more than I do.

And I don’t get to count 350M$ to assuage my anger…

And who’s kidding who? Bogarts aren’t coming to the Yanks not because of Peraza and Volpe, but because of IKF!!!

Is this confirmed? Wow, I wonder how many terrible contracts Cashman will saddle the Yankees with now? Of course, probably at the SS position just so we can best allocate our resources!!

He wanted a higher AAV than Trout, my guess is, it is most likely a 9/350-360 range...with a 10th year option.
That's just an educated guess on my part. I had a feeling that if he didn't sign with the Yanks by the end of the winter meetings, he was on to SF. So it might be sooner...

Dansby, say it Dansby Swanson, not sure he could handle playing in New York either. You recall McCann, another guy from Georgia, who really didn't handle playing here too well.
I have a sneaky feeling that Swanson might be in the same boat.
