The Yankees, at long last, secured the services of star outfielder and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge for the next nine years. It definitely wasn’t easy, and it did look like he was going to be a San Francisco Giant at one point on Tuesday, but the team came through with an improved offer — although it wasn’t the highest — and the player’s desire to stay prevailed.
The Judge saga ends with the Yankees on top, having re-signed their man for $40 million per year for the next nine seasons. The $360 million in total value comfortably exceeded the initial $213.
