All Rise: Yankees re-sign Judge

Yankees re-sign Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million deal. The deal is the highest annual salary for any position player in MLB history. San Diego had expressed interest in signing the outfielder.

Aaron Judge was offered a seven-year, $213 million extension by the Yankees in March, but he declined it. He won his first AL MVP and was an All-Star for the fourth time in his career. Judge hit an AL record 62 homeruns, breaking Roger Maris’ record. The outfielder also won the Hank Aaron Award.

St. Louis Cardinals signed catcher Willson Contreras to a five-year, $87.5 million deal. Contrras spent the last 14 years in the Chicago Cubs' organization. On Tuesday, Cody Bellinger agreed to one- year, one million dollar deal with the Cubs. The Cubs signed former Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon to four-years, $68 million on Wednesday.
