NEW YORK — The Yankees couldn’t let him go and Aaron Judge couldn’t walk away from the Bronx.
After a historic year, the slugger earned himself a huge contract from the Bombers. Judge and the Yankees agreed on a deal that will pay him $360 million over nine years, sources confirmed Wednesday morning.
That is $146.5 million more than the offer the Bombers had on the table on Opening Day, when Judge walked away angry with the team for having disclosed the deal. His feeling was the Yankees were trying to turn the fan base against him.
