The Winter Meetings wrapped up today, with a whirlwind of activity to report.
Yankees fans are ecstatic today — and breathing a sigh of relief — with the biggest news of the Winter Meetings. The No. 1 free agent this offseason and the 2022 AL MVP, Aaron Judge, finally made his choice and will remain in New York for in all likelihood the remainder of his career. The new Captain agreed to a colossal, nine-year, $360 million contract with a $40 million AAV that is the most-ever in MLB history for a position player. The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres reportedly made offers as well, but in the end, Judge decided to stay in the Bronx, where he will attempt to lead the Yankees to their first World Series championship since 2009.
