Aaron Judge is having his best run this season. He has played an instrumental role in the Yankees’ success this season. But it is a pity that he is in the last year of the contract. Given his form and impact on the team, the Yankees would not want to lose a player of his caliber.
But here is the thing. The Yankees will not be the only one chasing Judge for his signature. The moment Judge becomes a free agent, he will be all ears to every MLB franchise. And that is something the Yankees might not like.

It’s not that the Yankees did not offer him a renewal, but the 30-year-old rejected a long-term contract worth $213.5 million. However, a former Yankee, Alex Rodriguez, still believes that the Pinstripes can retain their best player in the free agency with a couple of lucrative offers. Because he believes that a franchise that is worth $6 billion can offer him the biggest MLB contract.
Alex Rodriguez has the two best deals to re-sign Aaron Judge
Recently, Alex Rodriguez appeared in the Kay-Rod Cast with the famous sportscaster, Michael Kay. Talking about Judge’s contract, A-Rod said the Yankees and YES Network have become cash cows. And it should not be a big deal for them to sign their marquee player. Because the Yankees and YES Network are worth around a whopping $10 billion.
“The Yankees today are worth around $6 billion and going up. The YES Network is a cash cow, and it’s at least $4 billion,” A-Rod said. “You have $10 billion and this thing throws off cash like it’s going out of style…”
A-Rod came up with the two best options for the Yankees and Aaron Judge.

“Eight years for $43.4 million per year, which makes him the highest-paid player in the game… or the second choice, which is five years for $50 million per year. I think that would be a great deal for the Yankees and even a better deal for Aaron Judge,” Alex Rodriguez suggested.

Now the main question is, is it right to pay an individual $50 million in a year, regardless of how well he plays? Although it is very unlikely, will Judge accept a $50 million per deal from the Yankees? Or he is all set for a big move?
