Here's what the MLB insider wrote for the top free agents from New York's roster this season, a group including Judge and three other veterans that were acquired via trade over the last couple of years:

Aaron Judge, RF

Ranked as the No. 1 free agent this offseason by Heyman

The Yankees are feeling more confident this week. One reason I’d guess he will stay is that he shows great loyalty sticking with his longtime, very small-time agent. Teams: Yankees, Giants, Dodgers. Expert’s prediction: $330M, 9 years. — Heyman

Anthony Rizzo, 1B

No. 17

Outstanding both ways. Will opt out, but qualifying offer may be tricky call for him. Teams: Yankees, Giants, Rangers. Expert: $40M, 2 years.

Jameson Taillon, SP

No. 19

Solid season. Teams: Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Giants. Expert: $60M, 4 years.

Andrew Benintendi, LF

No. 22

Yankees missed him. Teams: Yankees, Tigers, Rockies, Red Sox, Rangers. Expert: $56M, 4 years.

If you're curious, Heyman linked the following players to the Yankees in his predictions: Justin Verlander, Carlos Rodon, Edwin Diaz and Michael Conforto.
