MLB podcaster on AL Home Run King's value: "The Rafael Devers contract immediately makes me think Aaron Judge is underpaid"

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Aaron Judge and Rafael Devers signed long-term contracts this summer. Aaron Judge broke Roger Maris' record for most home runs in a season. Rafael devers got a contract extension worth $331 million over 11 years. The contract has the sixth-highest total value in Major League history.

Aaron Judge and Rafael Devers have signed contracts with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox respectively. Deers will be playing for the Red Birds until he's 37, whereas Judge will play for New Yorkers until 39. The Yankees have probably provided a better contract. The average annual value of $40 million is a new record for position players.

Aaron Judge's contract with the New York Yankees is far worse than that of Rafael Devers with Boston Red Sox.
