The Tampa Bay Rays are rarely a player in free agency, but they attempted to make an exception for Aaron Judge.
The Rays offered Judge a 10-year, $300 million contract before the slugger re-signed with the New York Yankees, per Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times.
"The Rays, that surprised me," he said. "And just because it was a divisional rival, and I've spent my whole career trying to game-plan against them. ... It was a very respectful (offer), and I appreciated that they reached out and that they thought enough of me to do that," Judge said.
