The Yankees are happy now. But wait until 2029, Mike Francesa says.

The WFAN legend was a bit of a party pooper after Aaron Judge landed a historic nine-year, $360 million deal to remain in pinstripes.

“It’s an extreme contract,” Francesa said on his latest BetRivers podcast. “It’s a bad contract. The Yankees will pay dearly on this contract in Years 7, 8, 9. I don’t think there’s any question about that. He will not be the same player, because nobody is. You don’t know how gracefully he’s going to age, how productively he’s going to age.
