It was said the guy who caught the ball turned down 3M for it. It's going to a Goldin auction in the future. Personally, I probably would have taken the money!! A bird in hand and all..

Judge said he won’t bid on it because it is out of his price range.

It’s going to list with a $1,000,000 opening bid. Seems like a ridiculous price. I would’ve taken the $3 in a heartbeat… and bought a Wagner. Or a house.

Greed! If he gets more than $3M, then good call. If not, then bad call. However, $3M is guaranteed right now and is a tremendous amount of money for the ball. So I'm a guy at a game, who catches Judge's #62 HR AL record ball, and I'm offered $3M for it. No brainer in my book!

My take:
Fun watching Judge this year. Glad he had a great year BUT I've never been a fan of guys that step up with their best stat year only when they are in their free agent year with big payday on the door step. My favorite players are the ones that produce each and every year barring injury. I know he passed on a chance to sign before and took the chance but if he is still producing in the 2nd and 3rd year of his new contact in the same type manor. Then I'll eat my pessimistic words. Just seen to many guys get the big pay and never play the same again.

Could not agree more.

That said, I hope he stays with the Yankees anyhow.
