Aaron Judge has stuck with a legendary organization to further his career and will be well paid by the Yankees to play a sport he helped promote so much last season.
Recall that he broke the home run record in the American League and especially in the New York franchise, hitting 62 long balls during the 2022 season. The fact that the record previously belonged to Roger Maris literally dove the new record holder in Yankees history.
A strong sense of pride arose as she was in contact with Maris family members for several weeks as she added up the long strikes.
That final season definitely made Judge choose his New York heritage over getting richer.
His new deal worth $360 million over the next nine seasons makes him one of the athletes with the highest annual salary, averaging $40 million a season.
This signature in a surpris plusieurs car bien des amateurs le voyaient prendre la direction de la California afin d’évoluer chez les Giants ou les Dodgers, mais le grand numéro 99 a préféré continuer de réécrire l’histoire des Yankees un coup de bâton à la Now. The San Diego Padres have even pointed their noses in discussions.
Pro players who prefer to stay with the same organization throughout their careers aren’t common these days and adding nine years through his new Yankees contract, Aaron Judge could be one of them.
Judge will be 39 when his current deal ends and he’s not immune to injuries.
With this big buy, the Yankees’ payroll heading into the 2023 season is expected to reach $266.5 million, which is nearly similar to their record $267 million payroll posted in 2022.
Once the dust settles and the next training camp opens, the pressure to win a World Series will be on the judge’s shoulders for the next nine seasons.
Blue Jays fans will therefore have to contend with Aaron Judge playing in the same division for years to come. A reality that sometimes brings nightmares.
