The wait appears to be over—Aaron Judge has reportedly made his decision on the next chapter of his career and will sign a new contract with the Yankees.
According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the outfielder agreed to a deal with New York, ending what was the hottest sweepstakes in this year’s free agency market. Ken Rosenthal reports that he will sign a nine-year deal worth $360 million.
The Yankees and Giants emerged in recent weeks as reported frontrunners to land the record-breaking slugger, and the compensation began creeping north of $300 million.
