Derek Jeter praises Aaron Judge for playing his way into a big paycheck this winter.
Yankees offered Aaron Judge a seven-year, $213.5 million contract extension in April. The 30-years-old is leading the majors in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage and OPS. He also has a 7. 5 WAR. He has battled injuries and physical issues in the last few years. Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols are examples of players who fell off a cliff when they hit their late 30s.
Derek Jeter gives credit to Aaron Judge for his performance this year.
