Aaron Judge Shuts Down Question About Long-Term Contract With Yankees
Aaron Judge and the Yankees reached an agreement on his 2022 contract on Friday and avoided arbitration.
The $19 million deal plus incentives is just for this year, while the star outfielder’s future contract status remains unknown.
When asked about any talks of a long-term contract, Judge quickly shut down the question saying that for right now, this was the deal that needed to get done.
“No,” Judge said when asked if the “next deal” will be a “big deal.”
“We got this one done and I was happy about that.”
