Yankees Working To Sign First-Rounder

Oct 1, 2014 1:23 AM

The Yankees are still working towards signing the last of their three first round picks, Fresno State outfielder Aaron Judge.

Judge has yet to accept New York's full slot offer of $1.67 million.

The Yankees are currently $311,900 under budget, so they could presumably increase its offer to Judge.
