To me, it would have been like Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio or Mickey Mantle leaving the Yankees.

Now the Giants can pivot and pick up 2-3 guys instead of Judge plus supporting cast.
I'll take Correa, Nimmo, Manaea, & Senga. Then push for Ohtani next year. |

I agree with that, too much money for a guy so big and injury prone. Correa would be a great addition to that team.

Good news for the Giants.
30, injury prone, big man. 9 years @ $40,000,000 per. The odds that the Yankees win on this deal, from an on-field performance perspective, is very, very tiny. |

They had to get Judge back; he's beloved in The Big Apple, like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Munson, Mattingly and Jeter. Letting him go would be like letting one of them go. Really. The story on Twitter says Steinbrenner called him personally, not his agent, and that is how the deal got done. Judge left at least $40M more on the table to stay. He will most certainly be "The Captain" next year. So even if he does break down, in the end, he will still be beloved. Beloved means fans and merchandise and basically the key to the city. No other team could offer all that except money. And they're still The Yankees. I would bet they don't stop with Judge. They haven't won since '09. They already brought Tommy Kanhle back. Also beloved. Why do you think Rizzo came back? Steinbrenner finally shows flashes of his father. Cashman is a great GM. To say otherwise is just jealousy. Sign Rodon and Benintendi and they may finally de-throne the Astros, especially since winning this last WS they appear to be in a Marlins-like dismantle mode. Who knows.

I agree. There was just no way the Yankees could let him walk no matter the cost. The number 99 in pinstripes has become an iconic jersey and if Judge had left, who would be "the guy" after him? There isn't one and ever since Ruth there's always been "the Yankee" even during the lean times when it was Bobby Murcer or Ron Guidry.

Very big money and the Yankees will make money off of him. The big question is how Judge will perform in years 7 thru 9.
But looks like this is the Free Agent Market. Look at the Padres they picked up Bogaert and he is older than Judge and signed for 11 years and $280 million Dollars and the Phillies got Turner for 11 years and $300 million
