Brian Cashman says Yankees already have made new offer to Aaron Judge

One significant contract down. Two major ones to go?

That is the goal. Whether one or both become reality is still to be determined.

“We’re on the clock,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said during an interview session with reporters Thursday night at the Covenant House Sleep Out event in Silverstein Park in lower Manhattan, after being asked if the organization has been in contact with free agent Aaron Judge.

“We’re,” Cashman continued, “certainly not going to mess around.”

Especially after Judge became the first Yankee since Alex Rodriguez in 2007 to be named American League MVP. Judge earned 28 of 30 first place votes after a 2022 campaign in which he set the single-season American League record for home runs with 62, scored 133 runs, drove in 131, and hit .311 in 157 games.

And he is now an unrestricted free agent.

One, according to Cashman, who has received offers from the Yankees almost immediately after the season-ending sweep by the eventual World Series champion Astros.

“Have we made a new offer to him?,” Cashman said. “The answer to that is an easy yes.”

Unlike his Opening Day news conference in which he said Judge turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million contract extension, Cashman did not share details of the offers proffered. He also refused to say if there were contractual demands that would cause the Yankees to walk away.

“What those offers look like or need to be — higher or lower — I have no idea,” Cashman said. “We’ll see what happens.”

Which is a phrase that can be attributed to Cashman, whose contract has expired. As such, he is working without a deal but believes a pact will be reached relatively soon.

“It’ll work its way out over time,” Cashman said. “It’s not an issue from my end . . . It’s not like I’m sitting \[here\] saying, ‘Hey you have to talk to me right now.’ ”

When asked specifically by Newsday if it was uncomfortable to oversee the offseason without a deal in place, Cashman said, “I’d like to stay here. They’d like to have me here . . . The atmosphere is all there. It’ll all work out.”
