There is word they were contemplating a deal for $400 million-plus over 14 years that would have taken Aaron Judge to 44 years old.
The Padres were once again the most interesting team at the meetings in their backyard, as they added a fourth player who’s either received a contract for $280 million plus or been offered one , and they let Aaron Judge know they would have gone well over the $360 million Giants bid to $400 million and beyond.There is word they were contemplating a deal for $400 million-plus over 14 years that would have taken Judge to 44 years old.
Padres GM A.J. Preller wouldn’t say what the Judge offer was but made clear in their last-hour meeting that he understood they had no interest in “wasting [Judge’s] time” with a bid near where the Giants and Yankees sat. Judge honestly told everyone he didn’t want to surrender his legacy over dollars, and all sides respected that.
