One of the biggest names on that list is Aaron judge. He will be a top priority for New York this offseason. The Yankees can't afford to let Judge walk. They won't be able to replace him with anyone close to his caliber. There's nobody in the league hitting 60 plus home runs, not even close. Anthony Rizzo has a player option that he can exercise at the end of the season. If he doesn't, that'll be another hole the Yankees will need to fill this offseason.
