The Yankees should be pretty happy they kept Aaron Judge in pinstripes.
According to ex-MLB agent Jeff Berry, who represented stars Tre Turner, Josh Hader and Buster Posey, the Yankees’ decision to re-sign Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract in December 2022 was largely Hal Steinbrenner’s.
“He is an iconic player,” Berry said. “You talk about the height of efficiency. The height of efficiency, for me, isn’t signing Jackson Chourio to $82 million and letting Corbin Burnes walk out the door over $15 million when you have a chance to win the World Series. The height of efficiency, to me, is the Yankees paying $39.9 million for seven years of Aaron Judge and then having the ability to make a decision if they want to move forward with him.
All Judge, 32, has done since then is hit some more — .284/.416/656 line with 64 home runs and 142 RBIs in 181 games . He’ll be an even bigger bargain if he helps bring the Yankees their 28th World Series.Yankees’ Gleyber Torres back in lineup after injury scare | Here’s latest update
