Judge, Yankees agree to 9-year, $360M deal (source) [View all]
SAN DIEGO -- All Rise! Aaron Judge is keeping his Yankees pinstripes, the Judges Chambers will remain open for business and the captaincy could be on deck.
The American Leagues Most Valuable Player has agreed to a nine-year, $360 million deal with the Yankees, a source told MLB.coms Mark Feinsand on Wednesday. The contract, which is pending a physical, has not been confirmed by the club.
It would be the largest contract awarded to a free agent in Major League history, surpassing Bryce Harper's 13-year, $330 million deal with the Phillies in 2019. Judge flew to San Diego on Tuesday to decide, selecting the Yankees over competitive offers from the Giants and the Padres, who were a surprise late entry to the bidding.
