I don’t know what Aaron Judge is going do offensively in 2022 because the players are currently locked out by Major League Baseball because Major League Baseball, Major League Baseball Players Association can’t come to a new bargaining agreement.

What I do know is that Brian Cashman, New York the team that wears the pinstripes should sign Aaron Judge to contract extension.

Why?

Because Aaron Judge is great defensively, offensively, he is well liked among the New York fan base and it doesn’t matter what state, stadium, opponent New York the team that wears the pinstripes is opposing you will likely see Aaron Judge’s number 99 jersey in jersey form, t shirt form and if you are a young person you might have the opportunity to interact, toss a baseball back and fourth with Aaron Judge between innings and Aaron Judge is a free agent after the 2022 season!
