Aaron Judge Could Command $500M Contract in MLB Free Agency, Leigh Steinberg Says

Aaron Judge could land a 10-year, $500 million contract in free agency this offseason, agent Leigh Steinberg projected to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports.

"He immediately and dramatically enhances a team's offensive output. He's a good team player. And for any team that's not sold out, he's an immediate box office draw," Steinberg said of Judge. "So he might be one of the few players who pays for part of his contract in ticket sales."

Steinberg doesn't represent Judge, but he did negotiate the 10-year, $450 million contract for Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, which was the largest contract in American sports at the time.
