With the season over for the New York Yankees, they have but one question to answer.
Will Aaron Judge be back in 2023?
The slugger had a historic 2022 season, breaking Roger Maris‘ all-time record for the most single-season home runs by an American League player.
Judge is very likely to be named the AL MVP Award winner thanks to his historic accomplishments.
But for now, the slugger is a free agent and is one of the biggest names out on the market.
SNY posed a question to Yankees fans, asking whether or not the Yankees should try to keep him by offering him a massive contract.
Aaron Judge had a historic season in 2022, smashing 62 home runs and etching his name into the record books. Now, he is a free agent.

Will Judge Remain A Yankee?
Most Yankees fans would probably say yes to this.
Judge had a historically productive season at the plate and will certainly be worth a large contract, which is something the Yankees can afford to offer him.
But he obviously will not come cheap, and multiple teams will come calling for his services.
After 62 home runs during the regular season, Judge had a lackluster postseason, hitting just .139 with two home runs and three RBI while posting a less than stellar .490 OPS.
Judge also grounded out to end the ALCS, securing a sweep for the Houston Astros.
The Yankees obviously have the financial resources to pull off a massive deal to keep Judge in New York.
But teams like the San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the New York Mets cannot be counted out as the sweepstakes heat up.
