With the New York Yankees still theoretically in the hunt for either Manny Machado or Bryce Harper, there’s hope that a deal could get done, despite a lack of motivation to spend the amount of money they’re asking.
Both Machado and Harper are looking for long-term deals worth over $300 million, and the Yankees are far from unloading that kind of cap-space. Nonetheless, youth phenom Aaron Judge has voiced his motivation for acquiring Nationals superstar Bryce Harper, stating “wherever he wants to play, we’ll make it work.”
The New York Post reported that Judge is keen on Harper and his generational talents, further marketing him:
“Any time you can add an MVP to a team, it’s going to make it better,” said Judge.
