Okay, so I was digging into Aaron Judge’s salary today, and let me tell you, it’s a whole thing. This guy’s raking it in, and after going through all the numbers, I get why.
First off, I started by just trying to get a general idea of what we’re talking about here. Some sources were saying his net worth is around $55 million. Sounds about right, considering he’s one of the biggest names in baseball right now.
Then, I dove a little deeper. I found out he signed a 9-year contract with the New York Yankees. We’re talking $360 million here, people! I mean, that’s just a massive amount of money.
Here’s the breakdown of what I gathered:
- He’s making $40 million a year.
- This contract is one of the largest in baseball history. Only Mike Trout and Mookie Betts have bigger ones by total value.
- Before this huge contract, there was a bunch of back and forth. I saw that he filed for a $22 million salary at one point, and then he was going to get $19 million for the 2022 season after some settling.
I also stumbled upon this tidbit about Juan Soto turning down a $440 million offer from the Nationals. That’s even bigger than Judge’s contract! It just shows how crazy these negotiations can get.
Anyway, after looking at all this, it’s clear that Aaron Judge is getting paid what he’s worth. He’s a top player, and these numbers definitely reflect that. That’s all I found for today.
