what should we expect? Agents can't have contact with the clubs while the locdown is in effect. Remember the last two players the Yankees extended long-term contracts to have spent more time on IL within days of such signings and their future careers are still in question - Severino might been able to return to the mound this year but even IF Hicks comes off the Il, how long before his next injury??? Can't blame Cash & Co. for being skeptical on those extensions.Don't forget we still have long term ahead with ColeTrain and Stanton.
Give credit to Judge for saying he will leave it in the hands of his agents - but he should be on top off negotiations. Remember '97 with Bernie's - his agents had a deal lined up with the Sux but George & Bernie worked out a contract over lunch . Then remember Arod actually fired his agent during negotiations to get the deal he wanted.
