The Yankees made Aaron Judge’s signing official on Tuesday and will have a press conference at the Stadium on Wednesday for the largest investment the team has ever made in a player.
Though retaining Judge — which came thanks to a nine-year, $360 million contract — was their main goal of the offseason, the Yankees still have questions to answer.
Some of those questions were erased when they agreed to a deal with left-hander Carlos Rodon, who is expected to slide in behind Gerrit Cole at the top of the rotation.
But there’s also left field and the bullpen to potentially address and Aaron Boone expects there could be more moves.
“I think we’re in a pretty good spot with who we have right now and the talent we have,’’ the manager said Tuesday. “I wouldn’t be surprised if something happens between now and spring training.”
With the loss of Andrew Benintendi to the White Sox and the uncertainty surrounding the inexperienced Oswaldo Cabrera and the oft-injured and underperforming Aaron Hicks, left field is an area of concern.
The Yankees had been interested in a reunion with Benintendi, but not at the five years and $75 million the White Sox gave him.
Another option, Michael Brantley, re-signed with the Astros.
Ex-Met Michael Conforto remains available after missing last season with a shoulder injury.
The Yankees also could look at the trade market.

Boone said the front office was exploring several avenues to make an addition, but also believed the team would be able to survive with what it had at the spot.
“We’d have to make it work,” said Boone, who was at the 44th Precinct in The Bronx, handing out food and toys along with the NYPD and the Food Bank For New York City.
“I think with the people we have on the roster, we can certainly get it done,’’ Boone said.
Cabrera showed promise in his rookie season after learning to play the outfield in the majors, but was overwhelmed at the plate during the postseason.
Hicks struggled throughout the year, lost his job and then was knocked out of the playoffs with a left knee injury.
Boone said he expects Hicks to be healthy by the start of spring training.
“It’ll be a competitive environment,’’ Boone said.
One that won’t include Matt Carpenter, who provided a much-needed spark to the Yankees last season.
The lefty-swinging Carpenter, whose fractured left foot sidelined him for much of the latter part of the regular season, signed a one-year deal with the Padres with a player option for 2024, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
