Aaron Judge Inks Nine-Year Deal With Yankees
2 years agoThe New York Yankees signed free agent superstar outfielder Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract. The 30-year-old ultimately will remain with the Yankees after Jon Heyman of the MLB Network reported that the slugger would sign with the Giants on Tuesday. Heyman later retracted his report. The star outfielder also met with the Padres Tuesday, but the Yankees bumped their offer Wednesday morning to keep him in New York. Judge had an incredible 2022 campaign, slashing .311/.425/.686 with 62 home runs, 131 RBI, 133 runs, and 16 stolen bases over 157 games with the Yankees. He set the American League home run record and was named the AL MVP last year. Judge is expected to be a top-five fantasy pick in upcoming 2023 fantasy drafts.
