Judge will earn $40 million per season, the highest average annual payout for a position player.

The four-time All-Star has 220 homers and 497 RBIs in seven big league seasons. Judge set an American League record with 62 homers in 2022, powering the Yankees to the AL East title. By rejecting the Yankees’ preseason offer, Judge gained $146.5 million and an extra two guaranteed seasons.

Yankees fans reminded Hal Steinbrenner of his Aaron Judge duty (New York Post)

Would Steinbrenner have been that engaged and inspired to fight off San Francisco and San Diego if the fans hadn't let him know what they thought?

The common man and woman reached out and forced a reluctant baseball baron to act. Though he reminded that the same Boss he threw out of the sport was capable of profound acts of generosity, the former commissioner said Hal “seems to me to be, excuse the phrase, a lot classier than his father. But the Yanks have failed to reach the World Series for 13 consecutive years, and Hal Steinbrenner has failed to convince his customers that he has his father’s stomach for the fight. Hal made a business decision that happens to coincide with what the fans want.” So Hal became George between the Astros’ ALCS sweep and the signing of Judge to a record nine-year, $360 million deal, more than four decades after the Boss set a record by signing Winfield to a 10-year, $23 million deal. It’s often very hard to even name the son of a great man.”
