Last year, the Yankees captain, Aaron Judge, demonstrated his power-hitting prowess by unleashing torrential 62 home runs that engraved his name in baseball history. The prospect of him replicating or exceeding that achievement this season, despite his intermittent appearances, speaks about his natural talent. Not to mention his unwavering dedication to the game but.. What if?

The real intrigue lies in the “what-ifs” that hover around his performance this year. Each swing of the bat has kept fans and analysts wondering what he could have achieved if he participated in an entire season. Had the Yankees 16th captain been a constant presence on the field, could he have matched or surpassed his previous year’s record? Before delving into this record-making or-breaking aspect, a recently surfaced tweet from a fan has caught all the attention, justifying Aaron being paid such a heavy salary.

Sports and statistics are intertwined. Some numbers stand out as more than just figures on a page. They narrate stories of potential, missed opportunities, and the undying search for greatness. A recent tweet encapsulated this sentiment, proclaiming what has left a frenzy in the comments section. “This is one of the craziest stats I’ve seen. There’s a reason Aaron Judge is being paid $40,000,000 a year“, the tweet said.

Having played in only 72 games thus far, Judge’s prowess shines through as he currently occupies the fifth slot in the AL home run leaderboard with having homered 27 Home Runs. But what’s the reasoning behind such a substantial investment?
