Aaron Judge agrees to 9-year, $360M deal to stick with Yankees, per report

Aaron Judge answered baseball's burning offseason question Wednesday, agreeing to a nine-year, $360 million contract to remain with the New York Yankees, according to The Athletic.

Judge, 30, had hit free agency after one of the greatest seasons in baseball history, hitting an American League record 62 homers to break the mark set by Roger Maris in 1961. Judge earned his first MVP Award while hitting .311/.425/.686 with an AL-leading 131 RBIs.

Judge's historic season came after the center fielder failed to reach a contract extension with the Yankees ahead of Opening Day, with general manager Brian Cashman publicly revealing that the team's final extension offer was seven years, $213.
