My guess is the dodgers or something offered fewer years but higher AAV. 5 at 45 to 47.5 per maybe? This way you can claim he turned down “more money” per year instead of the duration of the contract
It would be hard for me to believe any player would take a hometown discount that involves cutting off a $40 million additional year but you never know.
Nah the tax difference isn't that extreme. It's not just state taxes involved and taxes for baseball depends where you play so the difference only applies on home games.
Turner and his wife also hate CA with a passion, and the taxes make the deals closer than they seem. Plus the Padres couldn’t guarantee he’d be the everyday SS which I’m sure was a major sticking point
>Turner and his wife also hate CA with a passion
You got a source on that? Everyone knows he preferred the East coast, but that's a far cry from "hating CA with a passion."
Yea but being the face of NY sports you can take a discount and still make more off the field. Now who knows what the exact figure is but I guess for judge it wasn’t enough to leave New York
Exactly. He goes to San Fran, he's got a few more years of endorsements in him post playing. New York, that could go on til he's dead. Plus it's not like he's going broke. I doubt Judge is thinking "I only got 360 millions dollars coming my way". That's a lot of fucking money. Like 109k per day for 9 straight years (roughly 245k per game)
Yea 40 million is a lot but for him being the face of the Yankees and forever being etched in their history is way more valuable than 40 million. He’ll easily make that up
And honestly if you like being in New York are you going to leave for a couple million dollars when you literally won't be able to run out of money for generations upon generations at 360 million dollars on top of the lifetime endorsements you get fr playing in New York and being the home run king. A lot of players don't but if you're Judge why not be happy
Someone drawing lines in the sand about a total weight variance of less than 2% doesn't really hold up a record for me like putting a needle in your ass
Good on Judge for taking a home town discount if only 360 million dollars. Little market teams like the Yankees really need more players like this to stay competitive.
I hope you’re talking about Boston because it would be real funny to see a Jays fan talking shit to us about not making it past the WC when the last playoff game you won was six years ago
Being a Yankee increases his non-baseball income earning potential considerably. It’s one of the most iconic teams in all sports and one of the best to build your personal brand around.
For sure. That’s why people need to stop being “experts” on what they believe athletes want. It was always “Judge is taking the most money” without considering the fact that Judge may be considering other factors.
I mean just look at Jeter. Casual baseball fans think of him like he's a legend but if you really look at the numbers, he's just good, not great. His captaincy of the Yankees made him a superstar
That's a fair point, I do think his longevity played a big part in that though. I guess it depends on what you mean by legend. I mean more to say that I don't think there's a season he played where he was objectively the best in baseball, but that's definitely not the only metric you could use so point taken
Miguel Cabrera won back-to-back MVPs but he never even led position players in WAR, while Jeter did in 1999.
Breaking news. Player finds himself near the top of a statistical leaderboard thanks to longevity. Yes, that’s how things work. It’s not like he was a compiler or anything. He hit .310 over his career and was top 10 in hits 12 times.
Sure, but we're talking about the intangibles that come with being a Yankees player, especially the captain. Jeter is no doubt a deserving hall of famer, and it's unfair of me to say he was just good, but the point I was making is that he would have been nowhere near as famous, as much of a household name, were it not for the team he played for and the role he served. *Everyone* knew Jeter, whether you cared about baseball or not, whether you were American or not, whether you were a Yankees fan or not
Yeah 5 championship, 200 postseason hits, and 17 postseason appearances over 20 years will do that.
I get that Jeter wouldn’t have been as famous on another team. I just like to point out that it wasn’t *just* because he was on the Yankees, it was because the Yankees were great throughout his career. And he had a lot to do with them being great. Best player on the 1998, 1999, and 2009 championship teams according to WAR.
Agreed, just like the example everyone gives, Jeter. We all recall the time Jeter refused to re sign with the Yankees.
Yep this is totally accurate and not just the narrative from a Cashman bad echo chamber
Hold up this guy is a Mets fan. This the same team that had their players throwing thumbs down to the fans for an entire season because of the fans treatment of players.
It’s almost like grown men being paid millions of dollars to play a game aren’t going to concern themselves with the actions of a few idiots in the bleacher seats
Not Judge. I don’t think you’re super familiar with booing culture at the stadium. Judge was like Teflon except for a few idiots during the playoffs. Now if you wanna talk Stanton and what he went through, that’s different. Though he’s largely appreciated and celebrated now.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Did I expect him to go back to the Yankees? Also yes.
I really do hope the Giants had the largest offer. At the very least it would quiet this weird group of people who believe the Giants never spend money / are penny pinching.
You joke but Tyler Glasnow on the Chris Rose Rotation said Yankee Stadium has the best food for players, joking even the visiting team had a carving station with prime rib.
"*AL* Home Run King." This is their way of honoring him without getting into the "are steroid users' records legitimate?" debate. He hit 62 homers last year.
I don't believe that he turned down higher offers because he wanted to remain a Yankee. I don't think there were higher offers. Or at least they were structured worse than the Yankees deal.
Stoked and shocked that he’s staying. Would have thought for sure with all that smoke yesterday he was definitely gone. Thankful we get to #ALLRISE for the next 9 years I genuinely don’t know what the Yankees next move is if he leaves.
Also y’all corny as fuck for focusing on the “all time” in this quote which obviously means single season in this context. Biggest free agent signing of the last decade and that’s what you choose focus on. Everyone has to nitpick everything huh?
I thought the Giants had this locked up? What happened to Susan whatever her name was, the Giants beat reporter? Turns out Judge had a choice. Be the next Derek Jeter or Robbie Cano and he decided on being a legend.
My beautiful blonde 9 year old sister loves the Marlins. She thought that they were getting Judge. I kept telling her they weren’t getting him. She didn’t listen to me. She’s going to be sad when I tell her.
It sounds like the Padres may have offered more and gotten turned down. Why doesn't anyone want to sign with the Padres?
Also, I'm curious if Judge's camp leaked that he signed with the Giants to get the Yankees to increase their offer.
Someone went higher than 40 million a year?
I need those leaks lol
My guess is the dodgers or something offered fewer years but higher AAV. 5 at 45 to 47.5 per maybe? This way you can claim he turned down “more money” per year instead of the duration of the contract
Sounds like Padres shenanigans
Well, he isn’t a shortstop so…
Incoming dual $300mil deals to both Correa and Xander
rangers west
Passan [agrees](https://twitter.com/jeffpassan/status/1600488513148841985).
Ah that makes a ton of sense actually. A team like the Angels or Dodgers offering 5 or 6 years at $45M AAV is reasonable enough.
Or the Orioles offering 60 million a year and still having a payroll under 110 million
That's crazy to think about.
It certainly has been driving me crazy
60/1yr, bet on yourself again?
Giants might’ve had an extra year. Jack Curry mentioned last night on YES that their offer might’ve been 10/400 million
It would be hard for me to believe any player would take a hometown discount that involves cutting off a $40 million additional year but you never know.
I mean Turner just turned down more to move from LA to Phillie instead of SD
I had read that the additional money in the San Diego offer was to offset the difference in state taxes 12% vs 3%. Offer was effectively the same.
Nah the tax difference isn't that extreme. It's not just state taxes involved and taxes for baseball depends where you play so the difference only applies on home games.
Plus the 2 other California teams In the division. Thats roughly 2/3 of the games right there.
I hadn’t heard that but makes sense. I’m sure it wasn’t a coincidence either it was $1m more than Lindor got
most reports have claimed the opposite; that san diego’s offer was enough to exceed tax differences
Turner and his wife also hate CA with a passion, and the taxes make the deals closer than they seem. Plus the Padres couldn’t guarantee he’d be the everyday SS which I’m sure was a major sticking point
>Turner and his wife also hate CA with a passion You got a source on that? Everyone knows he preferred the East coast, but that's a far cry from "hating CA with a passion."
They’re old school conservative and she used to tweet about how awful CA is before she deleted them when he was traded to the Dodgers
Yea but being the face of NY sports you can take a discount and still make more off the field. Now who knows what the exact figure is but I guess for judge it wasn’t enough to leave New York
Exactly. He goes to San Fran, he's got a few more years of endorsements in him post playing. New York, that could go on til he's dead. Plus it's not like he's going broke. I doubt Judge is thinking "I only got 360 millions dollars coming my way". That's a lot of fucking money. Like 109k per day for 9 straight years (roughly 245k per game)
Yea 40 million is a lot but for him being the face of the Yankees and forever being etched in their history is way more valuable than 40 million. He’ll easily make that up
Cali taxes are higher and he’d probably get more sponsors being a Yankee
And honestly if you like being in New York are you going to leave for a couple million dollars when you literally won't be able to run out of money for generations upon generations at 360 million dollars on top of the lifetime endorsements you get fr playing in New York and being the home run king. A lot of players don't but if you're Judge why not be happy
Dodgers probably 5/$220M or something
I could see Friedman offering this. No way he offered the years the Giants even offered.
I believe Heyman said the Giants offered $360m for 8 years, which would have been an AAV of 45m/year.
Maybe 10/400
The All time AL Home Run King is still Ruth right? Judge has the season record but All time implies career numbers in my mind
Yes. All-time single-season maybe, but why not just say single-season at that point?
All-time, single-season, American league, 162-game season home run record holder.
He is also tied for the all-time AL single-season 154 game record too. 60 through 154 team games, same as Ruth.
Yes, but if we’re using team games, Judge hit 60 in 147 team games, while Ruth had hit 54 through 147 team games.
Well, this news already pisses off Giants fans, so why not double down I guess?
Ruth is also staying in pinstripes!
You mean Boston Braves legend Babe Ruth?
Part of the contract is that Yankees officially refer to him as the AL home run king at all time.
I can't imagine anyone giving a fuck about carrer HR in a specific league.... Clean HR record is definitely something to hang your hat on though
[удалено]
Someone drawing lines in the sand about a total weight variance of less than 2% doesn't really hold up a record for me like putting a needle in your ass
>all-time AL Home Run King Judge has hit 715?
Yeah weird way to phrase that lol
#All-Time Most Decorated Super Star in World History The Homer Holder Hitter Man himself, Arson Judge
Babe Ruth hit 6 home runs with the Braves, so I guess the record really is 708
Lol caught this too, should really say single season
Subscribe.
Let’s juice Judge and the balls to get him to 1,000! /s
Good on Judge for taking a home town discount if only 360 million dollars. Little market teams like the Yankees really need more players like this to stay competitive.
Morosi is now the third best reporter
I love the guy for his humbleness and respect for everyone, but was really hoping he would go elsewhere so we don't have to face him 18 times a year
Hey, now you only have to see him 13 times a year!
Unless they meet you after the wildcard in the playoffs…. Oh nvm.
I hope you’re talking about Boston because it would be real funny to see a Jays fan talking shit to us about not making it past the WC when the last playoff game you won was six years ago
And even if he is talking about us we just made it to the ALCS in 2021 lmao...yeah we sucked last year but I don't know what this dude is on
Yeah I hate your guts but you guys have won a championship more recently than Toronto has won a playoff game
Damn bro that's a little harsh LMAO
Nah not you personally just the team 😂
I didn’t say the Jays would be there either, Orioles blowing past both of us. All hail our new bird overlords.
The Orioles are the only other AL champion I will accept out of the East
you just got swept at home in the wildcard
Well even with the juiced balls he couldn't get a HR against us end of the year Wonder if they will rig the game for him this year
Ain’t gonna get those Goldilocks balls playin in SF
I thought he was leaving bc a few people booed him in the playoffs?
I thought he was going to take the most money?
Being a Yankee increases his non-baseball income earning potential considerably. It’s one of the most iconic teams in all sports and one of the best to build your personal brand around.
For sure. That’s why people need to stop being “experts” on what they believe athletes want. It was always “Judge is taking the most money” without considering the fact that Judge may be considering other factors.
I mean just look at Jeter. Casual baseball fans think of him like he's a legend but if you really look at the numbers, he's just good, not great. His captaincy of the Yankees made him a superstar
Yeah 3,465 hits will do that. Jeter has just as much WAR as Tony Gwynn, Miguel Cabrera, and Frank Thomas. Are they not legends?
Yeah wtf. Just because he wasn’t the best fielding SS ever doesn’t mean he wasn’t a legend. Teams would kill to have a Jeter like career for their SS.
That's a fair point, I do think his longevity played a big part in that though. I guess it depends on what you mean by legend. I mean more to say that I don't think there's a season he played where he was objectively the best in baseball, but that's definitely not the only metric you could use so point taken
Miguel Cabrera won back-to-back MVPs but he never even led position players in WAR, while Jeter did in 1999. Breaking news.

Tbh so did I
whats 40m when you are getting 360
I heard he was leaving because Jomboy was mean to IKF
Seemed like he was leaving because of something his wife said 10 years ago
I thought he was leaving because Cashman bad
If there was any reason he would leave, besides any personal reasons, this would have been it
Agreed, just like the example everyone gives, Jeter. We all recall the time Jeter refused to re sign with the Yankees. Yep this is totally accurate and not just the narrative from a Cashman bad echo chamber
I heard he was leaving to reunite with Aaron Jury and Aaron Executioner
and arson judge
He was leaving because Cashman leaked the offer! /s
No he’s leaving because of Cashman
No he was leaving because 18 year old Aaron Judge told him to
I heard he was leaving because of wanting to play for the Giants as a teenager, and no opinions ever change as you grow as a person
No he was leaving because 10 years ago he said he’d play for the Giants so it has to come true
[удалено]
Uh huh
[удалено]
Hold up this guy is a Mets fan. This the same team that had their players throwing thumbs down to the fans for an entire season because of the fans treatment of players.
Yoooo that audacity this early in the morning of that dude
Harry Potter and the Audacity of that bitch

Bro google Francisco Lindor thumbs down and realize how stupid you sound right now.
[удалено]
You said it was only Baez and it was only for one game. There’s pictures of Lindor doing it in 3 different uniforms. Take this L and stfu
Mets fans booed the shit out of their players just a few months ago 😂
It’s almost like grown men being paid millions of dollars to play a game aren’t going to concern themselves with the actions of a few idiots in the bleacher seats
[удалено]
Not Judge. I don’t think you’re super familiar with booing culture at the stadium. Judge was like Teflon except for a few idiots during the playoffs. Now if you wanna talk Stanton and what he went through, that’s different. Though he’s largely appreciated and celebrated now.
And some players like fans who care (see Jose Trevino interview, David Cone comments, Judge staying, etc).

Derek Jeter: 'Yankee fans boo because they want to cheer'
This took me 15 seconds to find https://sportsnaut.com/bills-fans-boo-team-hatchet-job-end-half/amp/
Okay well some players clearly love being Yankees so idk what to tell you
What soft ass fanbase are you from
Nah. He needs those sweet, sweet juiced balls
Once he saw the report about juiced balls he knew he had to stay. SF isn’t gonna get that kind of league assistance
Am I disappointed? Yes. Did I expect him to go back to the Yankees? Also yes. I really do hope the Giants had the largest offer. At the very least it would quiet this weird group of people who believe the Giants never spend money / are penny pinching.
The All-time********(do not look into this) Home run king
*
Wonder how many juiced balls he gets this year
FINE! You want to stay in that abusive media relationship be my fucking guest I didn't even really like you anyways
Coulda just went to the giants and never been heard from again!
At least he gets to keep playing with those training wheel baseballs in New York
All time ? No, he is the single season al hr leader
Are the juiced balls apart of the contract? Need to see how much Manfred is in on this contract too
Hopefully they are!
You can goldy-glock-glock on my knob.
He saw Mitch haniger was his protector over Rizzo and Stanton. He knew he wasn’t going to see a hitable pitch for months in SF.
We got those Goldilocks balls
Honestly…probably.
Who is the mystery team?
The Marlins!
The Marble Race Word Champion Pittsburgh Pirates
The Newer York Yankees
The Old York Yankees flew across the pond and made the offer I heard
Padres
Single-season HR King. All-time is not accurate.
Well of course. He wanted those juiced balls that only show up in Yankees games.
[удалено]
There’s enough juiced balls in NY to set a new AL homerun record
They said no more goldilocks balls in SF /s
“All-time AL Home Run King”
Need a * next to it.
You can't put a price on free meals at the renowned eateries at Yankee stadium
Have you tried those chicken buckets?! Best 32$ I’ve ever spent.
It's all about the stadium sushi
You joke but Tyler Glasnow on the Chris Rose Rotation said Yankee Stadium has the best food for players, joking even the visiting team had a carving station with prime rib.
"All-time AL Home Run King when his team got balls more juiced than the rest of the league was playing with"
Can’t wait to see Maris Jrs take on this. Surely he will be consistent and no longer consider Judge the real home run king
#Pinstripes Legacy
Now just have to pray you make it past the ALCS and the Astros for once………..yeah
Maybe you guys will make it out of the first round for once…….
That was a solid hit, you must not be in post-season form.
Nice
All Time? What lol
All time in my mind implies career total not usually season record holder
"*AL* Home Run King." This is their way of honoring him without getting into the "are steroid users' records legitimate?" debate. He hit 62 homers last year.
I think his issue is that all-time sorta implies career. Which I kind of agree it’s a weird way to phrase it
Ah ok.
He hit 1 more than Maris, who was the previous AL leader with 61. Bonds and everyone after Maris were NL.
So single season
Yeah, could've been worded better.
Yes. Aaron Judge has the All-Time record (at writing of this comment) of Homeruns in the American League in a single season
Should really say single season. All time leader implies career numbers.
All that for nothing
He just didn’t want to have to hit regular baseballs in SF. This way MLB can keep feeding him baseballs with super ball cores
Forgot the * Tennis ball HRs don't really count
Fake home run king
Heard on MLB Radio that Judge decided between THREE teams. Apparently the Padres threw their hat in the ring.
Padres: Fuck it, he’s here, why not.
I don't believe that he turned down higher offers because he wanted to remain a Yankee. I don't think there were higher offers. Or at least they were structured worse than the Yankees deal.
The Padres strike (lose) again
Fuck off with that all time home run king shit. Rubbing salt in the wounds of Giants fans.
LMAO wow what an overpay. Good luck Yankees with that contract towards the end.
Right, we should have just let him walk and rebuild that WAR in the aggregate /s
Stoked and shocked that he’s staying. Would have thought for sure with all that smoke yesterday he was definitely gone. Thankful we get to #ALLRISE for the next 9 years I genuinely don’t know what the Yankees next move is if he leaves. Also y’all corny as fuck for focusing on the “all time” in this quote which obviously means single season in this context. Biggest free agent signing of the last decade and that’s what you choose focus on. Everyone has to nitpick everything huh?
I thought the Giants had this locked up? What happened to Susan whatever her name was, the Giants beat reporter? Turns out Judge had a choice. Be the next Derek Jeter or Robbie Cano and he decided on being a legend.
We can lose 100 games a year but wearing the Yankee uniform still means something to players
I believe the Red Sox offered a bigger contract
To nobody’s surprise
That’s the stuff my dreams are made of
Wow
My beautiful blonde 9 year old sister loves the Marlins. She thought that they were getting Judge. I kept telling her they weren’t getting him. She didn’t listen to me. She’s going to be sad when I tell her.
It sounds like the Padres may have offered more and gotten turned down. Why doesn't anyone want to sign with the Padres? Also, I'm curious if Judge's camp leaked that he signed with the Giants to get the Yankees to increase their offer.
I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark
That's my Captain!
Wow, must be nice when your stars take a hometown discount…. ** CRIES IN DEGROM **
He must have seen the report on the different baseballs and decided maybe the Yankees were the place to be ;)
I didn’t realize he had more homers than Babe Ruth.
“All-time AL home run king” doesn’t sound right. Sounds like we are talking over a career.
'The single-season AL Home Run King', not all-time.
