The Yankees’ #1 priority this winter is securing Aaron Judge’s long-term services. It’s no surprise here.
The chances of making it happen are good, but for that, he will have to get a big offer. Otherwise, he will see on the side of California if the Giants or the Dodgers could not offer him a golden bridge.
And that, the Yankees know it. After offering him $213.5 million over seven years last spring, #99 should receive about $100 million more.
This is what is happening since the Yankees would have tabled an offer of $ 300 million over eight years. We are talking about $37.5 million per year.
This would make him the highest paid position player in history by year.
Is it going to take longer to sign him? Some players in the baseball world are under the impression that yes, it will take more.
Rumor has it that the $300 million could be increased if ever a club like the Giants, which has the means to match its ambitions, were to offer more.
Note that an agreement next week is within the spectrum of the possible. It will therefore be necessary to monitor everything carefully in the coming days.
