The big Aaron Judge question:

After smashing 52 home runs and winning Rookie of the Year in 2017, the outfielder announced his arrival in the Major League. Six years after making his debut in Pinstripes, the New York front office offered Aaron Judge a significant $213.5 million extension for seven years. However, after rejecting this offer, Judge signed a $19 million contract for a year and moved to enter free agency at the end of 2022.

That happened. And Aaron Judge stands as the most popular free agent who’s perpetually the talk of MLB town.

After a stellar 2022 season which encompassed 62 home runs, an AL Hank Aaron Award, and the American League MVP, the Judge’s prices have only surged high. Now, rumors suggest the outfielder could bag a yearly $40 million contract.
