Former MLB Star Shares His Aaron Judge Money Prediction

Former New York Yankees star Aaron Judge remains a free agent.

The San Francisco Giants hosted a visit for him, the Los Angeles Dodgers are monitoring the situation, and the Yankees reportedly have an offer on the table for him.

At the moment, the Bombers are offering an eight-year, $300 million deal and are open to increase it if needed.

However, a former MLB star gave his prediction about Judge’s new contract.

“Aaron judge 10 years 380 million,” Jose Canseco said.

Canseco became famous for his power and speed in the eighties and nineties, and for publishing a book about steroids users after his playing days were over.

The Giants And Yankees Are Fighting Over Judge

Some media reports suggest that the Giants are willing to outbid everyone for Judge, and part of their plan is being willing to go to nine or ten years if necessary.

Other teams, including the Yanks, would be hesitant to go to ten years for the 30-year-old star.

Judge rejected a $213.5 million contract over seven years before the start of the season, willing to bet on himself, have a great season, and try to get more money in free agency.

It’s safe to say his bet is paying off: the starting point in Judge’s bidding seems to be $300 million.

The right-handed star slashed .311/.425/.686 with 62 home runs, 133 runs, and 131 RBI.

He also stole 16 bases and played very good defense in right and center field.

If Canseco’s prediction comes true, Judge would become the highest paid position player in AAV (average annual value) at $38 million per season, leaving behind Mike Trout‘s $35.5 million on average.

At $43.3 million, Max Scherzer is the highest paid player in MLB when it comes to annual average salary.

Will Judge break another record, this time with his contract?
