Yankees Arbitration Tracker: Aaron Judge Does Not Settle With New York
With MLB’s lockout shaking up baseball’s usual schedule, Tuesday was the delayed deadline for teams and players to submit figures for arbitration.
The Yankees entered the day with a whopping 12 arbitration-eligible players, including Aaron Judge, Joey Gallo and Gleyber Torres. New York settled with Domingo Germán and Lucas Luetge prior to the lockout.
New York announced Tuesday night that the team had agreed to terms with 11 of those 12 players, thus avoiding arbitration. Judge is the only arbitration-eligible player that did not settle with the team.
Below is a look at each of the Yankees’ settlements. Judge will likely have to go through arbitration hearings during the season if he doesn't reach a settlement with the Yankees.
The two sides are also discussing a long-term extension.
