MLB all-star Aaron Judge is staying with the Yankees.
According to a New York Post report, Judge has re-signed with the Yanks for a blockbuster 9-year deal worth $360 million dollars; Judge told reporters last year that he “[wanted] to be a Yankee for life.”
Sounds like that’s the plan.
From The New York Post:
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 likely the rest of his career. The Athletic first reported the agreement, which is pending a physical.
And while the Yankees had been considered the favorites to keep their homegrown star — at least until this week at the Winter Meetings — Judge managed to pack plenty of drama into his free agency.
His hometown San Francisco Giants made a huge push to get the Linden, Calif. native back to the Bay Area and then there was a late push by the big-spending San Diego Padres and a quick trip to San Diego by Judge on Tuesday.
None of it was enough, as in the end, Judge won his bet on himself in a bigger way than many thought possible, going from the seven-year, $213.5 million extension he turned down on Opening Day into the richest contract in Yankee history.
