The management of New York Yankees continues to work to put together a competitive team for the season of MLB in 2022, but he will not have a rest.
Soon he will have to make other key decisions for the club, as several important players end their contracts when the campaign ends. Big leagues. These are four examples.
The 34-year-old Cuban closer Aroldis Chapman will go to his seventh season with the Yankees in the midst of a complicated scenario. He just stated that he thought it would be easier to win a World Series with the club and earlier manager Aaron Boone had teased that this year he can pitch a few times in the eighth inning. 2022 will be the final season of his three-year, $48 million extension that he signed in 2019.
Aaron Judge is awaiting the resolution of the arbitration, in which he asks for a salary of 21 million dollars (for 17 offered by the Yankees). Also approaching is the deadline he set to discuss his contract extension with the team he has spent his entire career with as Rookie of the Year, two-time Silver Slugger and three-time All Star. Judge he has said he wants to be a Yankee for life, but he can be a free agent at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old left-hander has been an important part of New York’s solid bullpen since arriving in a trade in 2018. He reaches the end of his three-year, $39 million contract in 2022 and does so amid uncertainty. Britton underwent Tommy John surgery last September and it’s possible he’ll miss the entire season, though he’s hopeful he’ll be recovered in time.
After a disappointing performance coming to New York in a midseason trade from Texas in 2021 (he batted .199 and led with 213 strikeouts), Joey Gallo knows this year is key for him. The two-time Gold Glove outfielder needs to improve his numbers, especially considering that he could be a free agent at the end of the season.
