Aaron Judge's passive approach to recruiting Juan Soto raises concerns for Yankees

Aaron Judge has not contacted Juan Soto during his free agency, despite expressing a desire to have him join the Yankees. Former Mets pitcher Trevor May suggested Judge should be more proactive in recruiting Soto, given his influence in the league. Judge emphasized the importance of giving Soto space to make his decision. He met with Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner to discuss signing Soto, but his approach has been described as passive compared to what some expect from a team leader. The Yankees have reportedly increased their offer to Soto, who is also being pursued by the Mets and other teams. A decision from Soto is anticipated after the Winter Meetings starting December 9.
