Well, the New York Yankees couldn’t afford to drop the ball here, so props to Brian Cashman for finally getting a deal done. The price? $360 million across nine years to keep reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge in the Bronx.

Cashman had secured an extension through the 2026 season. However, losing Judge would be reason enough to just throw that contract into the garbage and ask him to leave his credentials on his way out.

Judge bet on himself last season, and it sure paid off. He raked left and right en route to a historical 62-homer season, running away with the AL MVP award and carrying the Yankees’ stagnant offense on his wide shoulders.
