The New York Yankees have always had a plethora of iconic players among their ranks. Most of those enigmatic players achieved legendary status, becoming all-time greats. Moreover, the elite Yankees are among the few franchises that can meet the demands of those titans of the sport. And with their recent Aaron Judge signing, the Yanks have become the first MLB franchise to have a unique record.

The Yankees are easily one of the richest franchises in MLB and global sporting history. So, having multiple players with high salaries on their roster is not a surprising thing for the Pinstripes.

However, after signing a lucrative contract, Judge has joined the likes of Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole to create a unique yet expansive record for the Yankees. All three of them are heavyweight performers with honorable legacies. Their records thus justify the strength of contracts offered to them by the Yankees organization. But the MLB fans have largely differed on this matter.

The New York Yankees’ humongous contract deals with the dynamic trio, including Aaron Judge

Aaron Judge has now reportedly signed a $360 million contract extension deal for a nine-year period with the Yankees. Judge recently also had talks with the San Diego Padres. In fact, last month, he even appeared all set to join the San Francisco Giants. Thus, in fear of losing out the talismanic Judge, the Yankees decided to pay him the highest average annual salary.
