Aaron Judge certainly picked the right time to have a career year, setting the American League record with 62 home runs and leading all of baseball with 11.4 fWAR — four wins better than Manny Machado in second — as he heads into free agency. That kind of overall performance, which includes the ability to play center field, has set Judge up for what most believe will be at least a $300 million deal. Some think he could even eclipse Mike Trout‘s record of $360 million.
As Jon Heyman reports, however, getting to that level could push the Yankees out of contention for their superstar.
