Hal Steinbrenner’s says he’s OK with Aaron Judge’s call for Yankees to go ‘all in’ for title

Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner stated he was not upset by Aaron Judge's comments urging the organization to go "all in" following the team's ALDS sweep by the Rays. Steinbrenner noted he had a productive conversation with Judge, emphasizing that high expectations are mutual, while asserting that the club's record luxury-tax payroll of roughly $340 million demonstrated ownership's commitment to winning.

General manager Brian Cashman confirmed he agreed to a contract extension that will take him into his 30th season in the role in 2027. Steinbrenner also addressed a $2.6 billion financing deal with Apollo Global Management for a 16 percent stake, confirming it was designed for long-term financial stability rather than a team sale.
