The New York Yankees have officially re-signed superstar Aaron Judge amid some stiff competition, and several insiders have shared the details.
The Yankees are getting another nine seasons with their superstar star (pending physical), Aaron Judge, after looking likely to lose him one day to the San Francisco Giants. The deal wasn’t surprising since many knew the Yanks were capable of such a big offer, but it’s a matter of whether or not they put it together or whether they end up being outbid by the Giants.
according to Many insidersHowever, Judge wanted him to be a Yankee and flatly told the team he wanted a ninth year. Andy Martino, Jack Carey, Brendan Cotey and Michael Kay reported similar information on Judge and confirmed his desire to stay with the Yankees.
Kay, in particular, discussed the misinformation of the judge reaching a deal with the Giants that came Tuesday.
Negotiations seem to have reached a backyard, and it’s possible that things changed a few times as the star hoped for a suitable offer from New York. His desire to stay with the Yankees is underlined by the recent information that he turned down a 10-year, $400 million offer from the San Diego Padres.
They definitely made the right decision, even though it was a tough one.
The Yankees made a very smart contract with Aaron Judge
While the contract is long and expensive, it is well deserved and was necessary to maintain it. The Giants were willing to drop back basically as much as they needed to create an attractive pitch, but the fact that Judge wanted to stay with the Yankees and gave them an idea of what it might take worked in their favour.
They were given first-hand information about what it would take to keep it, and they acted on that with a show. They value the judge, as he should, and see him as worthy of being paid the biggest contract in MLB history.
It’s troubling that he’s in his 30th season, where most players start to deteriorate naturally, but he’s continued to improve over the years with his most explosive season yet. Most of his seasons during his career were exceptional anyway, but the 2022 season was historic and may just be a glimpse of what’s to come.
Yanks were smart in listening to what he wanted and giving it to him.
