Yankees: Aaron Judge bet on himself in a big way and it paid off
Yankees signed Aaron Judge to a $360 million contract. He smashed 62 home runs last season and won the American League MVP trophy. The Yankees offered him a 7-year, $213 million deal during Spring Training. Judge decided to sign a two-and-a-half-years contract worth $146.5 million. It's the highest average annual value in Major League Baseball at $40 million and he broke Mike Trout's AAV record by nearly $5M.
