 We need the person that can entowering bombs, Meredith Barakovitz in batting practice, 500 feet and beyond. Meredith, good to have you with us. We have talked already about a guy who can hit bombs for this team. And that's Aaron Judge. What's the latest you can tell us about his contract? Well, it's certainly not what Yankees fans want to hear, Bob, but it is the reality right now. The Yankees and Aaron Judge were unable to come to a contract extension. That means it'll just be the arbitration process for him this year and a one-year deal. And Brian Cashman spoke to the media just a few minutes ago to provide a little bit more insight into the process. It's concluded, unfortunately, we'll be in a one-year setting yet to be termed a number. We obviously had an extended conversation over the last three weeks or so with Paige Odle and I, and I've actually had a conversation with Aaron Judge briefly as well, but we were unsuccessful in concluding a multi-repact. Obviously, our intent is to have Aaron Judge stay as a New York Yankee as we move forward. And I know that's his intent as well, which is a good thing. We may have to, obviously not May, we're going to be obviously entering, you know, those efforts in a new arena which would be at the end of the season, you know, when a free agency starts and maybe that'll determine what the, you know, obviously his real market value would be because we certainly couldn't agree at this stage on a contract extension. Just for transparency purposes, our final effort was trying to buy out seven years of free agency at 30.5 million a year on top of, you know, the final season, which is this year, which is the arbitration setting, it would turn out to be either 17 or 21, which is his number. So total would be eight year deal, you know, seven free agent years at 30.5, plus the 17 or 21, you know, in this final season, which now will just conclude, you know, one way or the other here in the time frame between now and the hearing date. Did you feel like you were close or are you guys on totally different sides of the spectrum? Yeah, I don't want to characterize it really any further, and I certainly don't want to, you know, adjudicate the, you know, our case versus his case in terms of, you know, what we feel or what he may feel, you know, the right value is, you know, I can just say that obviously there's still time on the clock. It just will wait now as we enter the winter. There's no guarantees, you know, that anything will happen with that. I know that the intent on both parties would be to stay here. You know, he's been a great Yankee. He's an impactful player. He's one of the game's great players. And, you know, so our certainly hope is that at some point we'll find that common ground that we both feel comfortable with. But the timing obviously on that's not going to happen right now. So we are happy he's in pinstripes. We look forward to him leading this team this year in another effort to climb the mountain. And, you know, and obviously re-engage, you know, when the opportunity exists postseason. And you heard Brian Cashman talking about a hearing date. He did say that the arbitration hearing date is set but did not want to reveal exactly when that would take place. The Yankees filed at 17 million. Aaron Judge filed at 21 million. Brian Cashman was asked whether or not he thinks they might be able to avoid that arbitration hearing. And he said we only go to a hearing if we are pushed into a hearing. So time will tell exactly how that one kind of sorts itself out, Bob. But I can tell you this. I've spoken to Aaron Judge multiple times throughout the course of the spring. He has been asked about the contract situation. He has been calm and he has been at ease all spring long. He actually addressed the media at his locker today just after the clubhouse opened around 9.30 and he was asked whether or not his approach, his mindset, his focus, anything would change if they were not able to come to an agreement on an extension. And Aaron Judge quickly said no, my goal is the same to definitely put my best foot forward and achieve what we are setting out to achieve this year. And that's when a world series. It doesn't seem like this is going to affect him, but we'll have to see how it all plays out.
