Mike Honcho 4,014 Posted December 7, 2022 Quote Yankees, Aaron Judge Agree To Nine-Year Deal' The New York Yankees are re-signing reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge, reports Jon Morosi of MLB.com. It’s a nine-year, $360MM contract, tweets Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The agreement is still pending the completion of a physical. It’s the largest free-agent contract in MLB history, topping Bryce Harper’s previous $330MM record. The $40MM average annual value on the contract establishes a new record among position players and trails only the matching $43.33MM AAVs of Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander — both of whom are on shorter-term deals — for the largest in MLB history. Judge is represented by Page Odle of PSI Sports Management. Unique player-6'7", 280+ pounds, would think later on he could just be a full-time DH. I'd say it's worth it if they get 6 productive years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This and any team serious about winning championships it's bringing in the top pitchers that count. Anyways I'm somewhat of a Yanks fan and glad they sign him and he was fun to watch last season.

No disrespect, but it seems there's plenty of jobs available. Might not be the same type of job, but hopefully enough to at least keep paying one's bills until the economy improved.

There are a lot of manufacturing and such jobs available because there is a high demand for the things being produced. A recession will reduce the demand for those things.
