How Judge’s free agency will work:
Judge officially became a full-fledged free agent at 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 10. He is free to talk and sign with any team at this time. That does not mean Judge will be quick to choose his new team, though. Free agency in baseball moves much slower than in the NBA or NFL. So this could take a while.
