That’s coming from a big Padres fan.Some baseball fans are trying to figure out where the San Diego Padres get all this money from. They have two $300 million players on their team and Xander Bogaerts on a $280 million contract.Aaron Judge needed to re-sign with the New York YankeesDivision Series - Cleveland Guardians v New York Yankees - Game OneNot many players mean as much to their organization as Aaron Judge does to the New York Yankees. He's the team's heart and soul. The team moves as he does. Judge signing anywhere else but the Bronx would have been devastating.The front office was adamant that they would bring in talent behind Judge and did just that by signing Carlos Rodon. Rodon is one of the best left-handed starting pitchers in the league. He'll fit in nicely behind the team's ace Gerrit Cole.More recently, the team announced that prospect Oswald Peraza would be the team's Opening Day shortstop. They seem to be moving past Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who struggled both at the plate and in the field last season. While Peraza only has a few MLB games under his belt, he should be a huge upgrade at the position.With a bolstered starting rotation and the rise of some prospects, Aaron Judge should have some more help this season. Watch out for the Yankees this year.
