NEW YORK -- American League MVP Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees on Tuesday finalized their $360 million, nine-year contract, the third-largest deal in baseball history.
New York announced the agreement and called a news conference for Wednesday at Yankee Stadium to discuss the contract, which was agreed to on Dec. 7 subject to a successful physical.
Judge hit 62 homers last season to break the previous AL record of 61 set by the Yankees' Roger Maris in 1961. Just before opening day, Judge turned down the Yankees' offer of $213.
