Most certainly they will. It's New York. They expect, rightfully, that there should be a certain level of performance for that amount of compensation. Then they will pack the Stadium, standing and cheering, when number 99 is retired. He knows this. Harry Truman said it best, "If you can't stand the heat, get the Hell out of the kitchen." Looks like Judge can handle the heat, or he would have taken the 8 year/$400M deal the Padres swooped in with.
