The New York Yankees must be willing to shell out for Aaron Judge after his record-breaking 2022 season, right?
On Tuesday, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was asked if he’s reached out to the Judge camp about a potential contract extension.
“No comment,” Cashman responded.
Judge started the 2022 season by turning down a seven-year, $213.5 million contract offer from Cashman and the Yankees. The superstar outfielder then went on to notch an AL MVP award behind an AL-record 62 home runs.
After turning down this original contract offer, Judge is now an unrestricted free agent. Whether it’s with the Yankees of another MLB team, the 30-year-old outfielder is no doubt in for a massive payday.
MLB Network insider Jon Heyman predicts Judge will net a nine-year contract worth around $330 million.
