A monster deal for Aaron Judge. But was it a good deal for the Yankees? @bbdoolittle for @ESPNPlus ➡️ es.pn/3h7c2t3
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus Aaron Judge is now making more in 1 year than he did in his last 7 years.
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus Overpaid for an overrated player
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus Of course they overpaid. Judge is incredible, but he’s also 30 already. He doesn’t have 9 years worth $40M left I promise
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus That's 500 times more per year than Babe Ruth made in his best year ($80,000).
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus That Yanks always overpay because they have the money to do it. They have a policy to generally not negotiate extensions until the original contract expires. That costs extra if the player performs well.
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus There was no way the yankees were going to lose him over money. Breaking Maris's record sealed that. It's a sacred record. Yankees like to keep legends like that for the duration in house and in monument park one day.
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus Biggest question for the Yankees should be, how to get him help. It’s no question he carried a team like no other player in any sport. Jeter had his support system, Judge doesn’t.
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus No freakin way. The money they gonna make marketing him will be 10x fold
@espn @bbdoolittle @espnPlus I’m ok with the 360 mil but he should’ve been 6 years not 9
