With the MLB winter meetings set to begin on Sunday, the Yankees are hoping to secure star outfielder Aaron Judge to a new deal sooner rather than later as other contenders jockey for the 2022 American League MVP.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Wednesday that the Yankees have offered Judge a deal in the realm of eight years and $300 million. New York potentially could increase that offer, depending on their competition for the four-time All-Star. The current offer would pay Judge an average of approximately $37.5 million per season. Judge previously rejected a seven-year contract extension from the Yankees worth $30.
