The AL MVP made a bet on himself and cashed in big with a nine-year, $360 million deal that sets the tone for the rest of the MLB offseason.
Judge turned the Yankees down on a seven-year, $213.5 million extension in April, betting on his own ability that he would cash in this offseason. After winning the MVP and smashing an AL-record 62 home runs, he accepted a deal that will pay him almost $10 million more annually. Somehow, whether Judge wanted to stay all along and bluffed the Yankees into a bigger offer or whether the star was really considering other pitches, Cashman was unfazed by Wednesday morning.
Cashman said he didn’t know for sure Judge would be in town, let alone where to find him. As it happened, Judge was meeting with the San Diego Padres, who were making a last-minute push after missing out on shortstop Trea Turner a day earlier.
