Earlier this season, the Yankees slugger Aaron Judge decided to bet on himself and become a free agent after the end of the 2022 season. Aaron refused the 235 million dollar deal offered by the Yankees. However, at that time, Judge himself didn\’t know that the season would turn out to be historic. But as Aaron Judge\’s time with the Yankees is coming to an end, many eagle-eyed fans are picking hints that the base wants to return to Pinstripes blues.

But unfortunately, there is a chance that Tuesday\’s game will be Aaron Judge\’s last with the New York Yankees. He is expected to become a free agent at the end of the season. Considering that the Yankees were up 4-1 going into the bottom of the third, it would take a blown lead at this point. The Bombers are still working to win their 28th World Series. Aaron Judge, the presumptive American League MVP, will soon become a free agent, which is a significant factor.
During the decisive Game 5 on Tuesday, following Giancarlo Stanton\’s three-run home run in the first. New York led the Guardians 4-0 after Judge\’s solo homer in the bottom of the second inning. When the great outfielder returned to the bench, Yankees supporters couldn\’t help but notice how he chose to celebrate. He approached a photographer inside the dugout and kissed the Yankee badge on his chest. Apparently, it was clear in his eyes how happy and dedicated he was after his good time.

Prior to the start of the season, Aaron Judge rejected an eight-year, $235 million deal. Afterward, he set a new AL record for home runs in a season with 62, led MLB in RBIs and OPS, and remained in the hunt for the Triple Crown right up until the end of the regular season. But if ever there was an indication of his devotion to the team, his symbolic action following the game on Tuesday is it.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Judge has dropped hints of returning to the Yankees. The slugger was previously seen wearing a hoodie that said, \”New York Or Nowhere.\” So, Yankees fans are hopeful that Aaron will return to the Yankees even after his current deal expires.
