Hal Steinbrenner wants to keep his manager.

Steinbrenner stated a year ago that he believed the Yankees' new manager was a very good one. I don't think there's a change there.

A team option was added to the three-year deal. The 1998 champion Yankees had a 61-23 record in early July, but New York had a 61-23 record in his fifth season. The Yankees went 38-40 the rest of the way.

The Yankees were swept in four games by Houston in the American League Championship Series.

Since winning their 27th title in 2009, the Yankees have not played in the World Series.

The pending free agency of Judge was not addressed by Steinbrenner.

Judge chose to remain eligible for free agency after the World Series after turning down a seven-year contract that would have paid $213 million from 2020 to 2019.

He set an American League record with 62 homers and finished second in the American League with a.311 batting average. In the playoffs, he hit.139 with three runs and 15 strikeouts, but he only hit.063 with no runs against the Astros.

Steinbrenner and Cashman were at Yankee Stadium on Monday talking about the upcoming season.

Steinbrenner said they haven't discussed anything yet. We had some preliminary conversions.

Cashman has been the GM for five years.
