MLB Insider Comments On Aaron Judge Hearing Boos (The Cold Wire)

The New York Yankees certainly made a sincere effort to sign their star player, Aaron Judge, to a long-term contract extension before the start of.

The projected $30.5 million average annual value was actually solid value, but Judge has every right to reject the offer and test the market if he wants.

Aaron Judge responds to getting booed by Yankees fans (FanSided)

Aaron Judge says getting booed by spoiled New York Yankees fans is nothing new for him. He will be hitting free agency after this baseball season, though.

Of course, Judge has been the team’s best player for the better part of a decade. Because he played his college ball close to home at Fresno State, Judge has never made massive money before in the big leagues. Look. This just comes with the territory of playing ball in New York, or the northeastern corridor for that matter.

Yankees news: Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman never got Yanks offer (Pinstripe Alley)

Judge's bet on himself; offseason featured no offers to Correa & Freeman, or extension for Chapman; Higashioka a 2022 breakout candidate.

The closer had his last contract extended by a year after the 2019 season to avoid the possibility of him opting out, but he’ll be 35 in 2023 and while he’s still generally solid, he is not seen as the same shutdown presence out of the bullpen that he was just a few years ago. Dan Szymborski: Kyle Higashioka has a lot of pressure on him in 2022 to at least be mildly competent with the bat rather than the 71 OPS+ guy he showed in 67 games last year. Judge is rolling the dice a bit based on the history of his body type, but if his worst-case scenario is winding up with a slightly lesser nine-figure contract, can you really blame him for trying to set a new standard? Logan Mullen: Yankees GM Brian Cashman went on WFAN yesterday afternoon, and in addition to revealing that the organization told Judge’s team in advance that they were going to reveal the offer, he confirmed that the Yankees never even made an offer to top free agent Carlos Correa or Freddie Freeman. Both would’ve been huge additions, as the Yankees had gaping holes at shortstop and first base entering the offseason, but evidently, the most valuable team in baseball decided that Correa and Freeman’s talent was too rich for their blood. There’s intrinsic value to him in the community and fanbase beyond his already-significant production on a baseball field. As Verducci notes, no Yankee in his prime has ever meant more to the identity of his own team at the time he hit the market.

New York Yankees: Aaron Judge not worth big contract extension (Call to the Pen)

New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million extension to his current contract. Did the Yankees dodge a bullet?

The safe bet for the Yankees is to let Judge go. If Cashman wants to keep his job, he should let Judge walk. If the Yankees don’t start the season hot, New York should explode everything and start over. Judge, in his career, is on pace to surpass Báez. He has struck out 736 times with a 29.7% strikeout percentage. After all, they have piled up some nasty contracts that are not working out for the price tag, as shown by Gerrit Cole’s recent struggles. The year he most played was his rookie season with 155. He won the Home Run Derby and the Rookie of the Year award, slashing .284/.422/.627 with an OPS of 1.049 in 542 at-bats. New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge recently turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million extension (plus $17 million for this season) to his current contract. His injuries have included stress fractures, fractured ribs, and a collapsed lung. Judge has recently stated that he is comfortable going to free agency and listening to offers from all 30 teams. But Aaron Judge is a strikeout machine. While he did play in 2016 in 27 games, his rookie season was officially in 2017.

But it did raise the eyebrows of one of the few players who can relate.
