After the parties failed to agree on a long-term agreement before Judge’s deadline this spring, No. 99 could be released by the Yankees in order to seek a free agent deal elsewhere after the season.
Judge smiled when Judge was asked about Friday’s meeting and replied, “We’ll speak after.”
Hicks stated that “we always hope for the best for their guys in arbitration, and stuff like that.” We want him to be a Yankee.

New York extended its home win streak to 15 games, which is the longest such streak since 1961.
