Aaron Judge had a visually spectacular MLB season this year. He empowered the New York Yankees to clinch the zonal crown and enter the playoffs. On the personal front, he had set MLB records amid a home run frenzy. However, the end of the season also brought along an end to his Yankees’ term contract.

At the same time, another star performer from the Yankees’ ranks, who just turned into a free agent, has extended his contract. He is none other than the Yankees’ first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Alongside Judge’s 62 historic home runs, Rizzo made his own valuable contributions for the Yankees with 32 homers. 

And recently, Rizzo extended his Yankees’ contract for a two-year $40 million guarantee deal. 

What did Anthony Rizzo have to say about Aaron Judge? 

Along with his batting form, Aaron Judge constantly dominated the headlines due to his term contract. This year, he had famously rejected a contract term extension offer from the Yankees. Already an iconic representation of the sport, Judge entered an elite company this year through his record run. Therefore, Judge’s stakes have gone further high and multiple teams have shown their desire to acquire the champion slugger.
