The New York Yankees have been branded "just another team" in a brutal rant despite signing Aaron Judge to a new nine-year contract worth $360million (£294.8m).
The Yankees were in a heated battle with the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres for Judge's signature, after the 30-year-old's standout year in which he was named American League Most Valuable Player. Judge tested the waters in free agency and is believed to have flown to San Diego late in the process to meet with the Padres, but ultimately decided to stay in New York after being offered a deal too good to turn down.
Judge returns to New York tasked with guiding the team deep into the postseason, and ESPN pundit Stephen A Smith believes it isn't good enough to simply secure the signing of the superstar outfielder.
