Aaron Judge received a $62k raise for the 2019 season. And while that increased his overall salary to $684,300, he’s an extreme bargain for the Yankees — at least until next season when he is arbitration eligible for the first time.
However, with Judge’s extensive list of endorsement deals (Pepsi, Fanatics, Adidas; the list goes on), he isn’t exactly hurting for money.
Which is why the 27-year-old former Rookie of the Year can turn down a probable invite to this July’s Home Run Derby, set to take place in Cleveland on July 8.
Having slugged 83 total home runs in just 294 big league games, Judge is no stranger to the long ball.
