Judge $ 57,471.26 per At-Bat

[insidethewrapper]

With Aaron Judge's $ 40 million /year contract and based on last year's 696 Plate Appearances, he will make $ 57,471.26 per time at bat !!!! That's more than most Americans make in a year , with only 1 plate appearance.

We should come up with a list of vintage cards that should be available at the Judge Per At Bat (JPaB) amount. Then we could sit back, close our eyes, and imagine that if we were Aaron, even when going 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts, we could purchase a handful of these cards after every game.

Waiting on the news in years to come. Some will be positive. Some will be negative. Will this be a disaster? Probably.

right but if yankees dont sign him...then all their fans complain and the media as to how they let him get away...funny they lose either way..

baseball is funny..braves won the world series even though 2nd half of year and playoffs their best player Acuna was hurt....

teams know they will lose money in baseball though...its about who can afford to lose the most...

Nice work if you can get it!

He deserves it as the face of the Yankees and his performance. There are many making obscenely amounts and their per at bat or per game start numbers are thru the Roof and not earning it

Think about how much the guy that writes those checks makes. He should get as much as he can.

Keep in mind that the 696 PAs this past season was the most he's ever had in single season. In 5 of his most active seasons he has averaged 593 PAs per season.

Good for Judge! If the Yankees want to guarantee him $360M, then let's hope they get their money's worth.

You know what they say about players of his stature/size. They usually don't last much past their age 35-36 season (if that long). Sounds like they're actually paying Judge $80M a season for 4-5 more good years and the rest is just going to be icing on the cake as he takes a roster spot for the years after that. I really hope he can remain productive after his age 35-36 seasons.

I would bet a lot he won't match those plate appearances, so his rate per will be even higher.

Tax man will reduce that down to closer to $25k per AB (it's a hard knock life!). Although considering his actual AB total over the contract will probably be half of this projection, then $50k per AB after tax is a good guess.

And we know damn well who is going to be footing this per at-bat bill. Hope every Bronx Bomber fan wins LOTTO, so you guys can afford to go to The Stadium to catch a game, or be able to pay for your subscription to watch them on TV.

Wow!

In contrast, adjusting for inflation, Dan Brouthers (the greatest hitter of the 19th century), with a known salary of $4,700 in 1889, made in 2022 dollars....

$313.91 per AB

I'd take Big Dan over Judge any day of the week!

Pffft...Dan only hit 7 home runs, though. And his wgasWAR was less than Judge's 3.69 year peak, adjusted for ball park, time zone, and air quality.

So, there.

(yes, I'm kidding...just in case anyone wasn't 100% sure)

You know what happened after Maris hit 61 HR's ! Never got close again. Never could live up to that season and the NY fans let him know that daily, after every strikeout.

What gets me the most is that many of these players expect fans to return balls to them without any money trading hands. I'll "give them a signature" etc. I think they should bid in an auction just like the rest of us. It wouldn't even make a dent in their wallet.
