Finally, three months after the New York Yankees exited the 2022 postseason and Aaron Judge entered free agency, the Pinstripes have officially re-signed their star outfielder.

Although it was confirmed from various sources that Judge will stay in the Bronx, there was no official confirmation of the same from the Yankees’ front office. And now, when the Pinstripes have announced Judge’s new contract, the Yankees fans are more than relieved for the same.

Aaron Judge rumors will finally stop now

As a result of an unbelievable season with 62 homers, Judge entered 2022 as the biggest free agent in the market. However, the Giants weren’t going to let Judge simply walk to the Bronx.

That’s exactly what they did. After the Yanks offered Judge a $300 million, eight-year deal, the Giants topped it with a deal neighboring $350 million, for nine years. However, there’s something about New York, New Yorkers, and the New York Yankees that found Judge a $360 million deal for nine years. The same Yankee emotion managed to bring Judge back to where he belongs.
