Judge, Yankees agree to 9-year, $360M deal (source)

SAN DIEGO -- All Rise! Aaron Judge is keeping his Yankees pinstripes, the Judge’s Chambers will remain open for business and the captaincy could be on deck.

The American League’s Most Valuable Player has agreed to a nine-year, $360 million deal with the Yankees, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Wednesday. The contract, which is pending a physical, has not been confirmed by the club.

It would be the largest contract awarded to a free agent in Major League history, surpassing Bryce Harper's 13-year, $330 million deal with the Phillies in 2019. Judge flew to San Diego on Tuesday to decide, selecting the Yankees over competitive offers from the Giants and the Padres, who were a surprise late entry to the bidding.

New York Yankees have north of $500 million in earnings every year. Player payroll is about half of that.

The reported reply by Babe Ruth when a reporter objected that the $80,000 salary he was demanding was more than President Hoover’s $75,000 : “I know, but I had a better year than Hoover.”
