Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is just the 57th highest paid player this season, at $19 million. Look for that to change in 2023 -- in a big way.
Aaron Judge at the bat is must-see TV, as the New York Yankees star outfielder is looking to break the American League home-run record of 61, set by Roger Maris in 1961.
The Yankees slugger drove a 3-1 pitch from Pittsburgh’s Wil Crowe 430 feet to the left-field seats leading off the ninth inning. Judge’s third home run in two games, and ninth in the month of September, thrilled the Yankee Stadium crowd of 40,157. The only players in history who have hit more than 61 home runs in a single season played in the National League and have been linked to steroid use.Judge, 30, is, with his .316 batting average and 128 runs batted in through Tuesday night, one of baseball’s brightest stars and on the inside track to be named the American League’s MVP for 2022, according to odds from DraftKings DKNG, -4.29% Sportsbook.
Judge, with his career .284 batting average and 218 career home runs , is set to cash in after this season, when he will be an unrestricted free agent and able to sign with any team for any amount of money that he and his agent can negotiate. Judge turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million extension before this season, according to Yankees President Brian Cashman, in hopes of earning more in free agency.
