Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner wants to leave no doubt about where he stands on Aaron Judge's future in pinstripes.

"I've absolutely conveyed that I want him to be a Yankee for the rest of his life," Steinbrenner said at the MLB owners meetings in New York on Tuesday. "No doubt about that. He knows that."

The sentiment marked the latest in a string of public comments from Steinbrenner indicating the team's strong interest in bringing back Judge on a long-term contract.
