According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Yankees have agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract with outfielder Aaron Judge. The deal is pending a physical.
The news comes after weeks of speculation that Judge could spurn New York for San Francisco, and one day after it appeared that the Giants had potentially secure his signature. Instead, Judge has inked a deal that will likely keep him in pinstripes for the rest of his career.
What the rest of the Yankees off-season will look like remains to be seen, but the most important piece is in place.
