Sport's highest earners including MLB and NFL stars as Aaron Judge inks massive contract

After interest from multiple teams this off-season, the New York Yankees resigned Aaron Judge after the two parties agreed on a whopping nine-year, $360million (£295m) deal, with Judge to make $40m (£32m) a year until 2031.

The big-hitting outfielder became a free agent this summer after a legendary season with the Yankee in which he won MVP and set the new single-season American League home run record (62 HR's), as he surpassed Roger Maris who hit 61 home runs 61 years ago.

After reportedly receiving an offer from the San Francisco Giants, with some reporters insinuating that a deal was close, Judge eventually resigned with the Yankees.
