The free-agent superstar and the Yankees agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract. Judge was approached by the Giants with a similar offer earlier this week.
The free-agent superstar and the Yankees agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract on Wednesday, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed, keeping the AL MVP in The Bronx for the foreseeable future and possibly the rest of his career. The Athletic first reported the news.
Judge, 30, took a visit with his hometown Giants during the free-agent process but in the end is staying home instead of going home.The outfielder turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million offer from the Yankees before Opening Day, betting on himself and winning big. He went on to hit an American League-record 62 home runs, breaking Roger Maris’ record, and flirted with a Triple Crown. He put the Yankees on his back to capture an AL East title and 99 wins.
Heyman reported during the winter meeting the Giants had offered Judge roughly $360 million. It was not enough to pry him away from the only franchise he’s ever known.The 6-foot-7, 280-pound Judge became the face of the franchise after hitting 52 homers as a rookie with the Yankees in 2017 and only cemented his place with the organization last season, when he broke Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 homers set in 1961.
The club’s managing general partner then followed through on that, giving Judge a monster contract to avoid a doomsday scenario in which he signed with another team.
