Alex Rodriguez thinks Aaron Judge and the Yankees are a perfect match. But Rodriguez has some doubts about whether Judge will stay in The Bronx long-term.
Speaking on The Post’s “The Show” podcast with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman, Rodriguez said that while Judge, an impending free agent in the midst of a career year, is tailor made for New York, there’s a 50-50 chance he plays elsewhere in 2023.

There’s a marriage made in heaven, but they both gambled, and I think that it’s gonna cost the New York Yankees a fortune. And I handicap it that there’s about a 50 percent chance that he comes back to the Yankees.”
