The New York Yankees and star right fielder Aaron Judge have agreed on a deal worth $8.5 million for the 2020 season. By the agreement, the two sides avoid arbitration.
The 27 year old dealt with some injury issues in 2019, but managed to have a solid season. Judge hit .272 with 27 home runs and 55 RBIs in just 378 at-bats. He slugged well over .500 and had an OPS well over .900.
His defense was phenomenal in 2019 with exactly zero errors. He’s an incredibly smart player and has good speed.
Today, the Yankees agreed to deals with Luis Cessa, Chad Green, Jonathan Holder, Aaron Judge, Tommy Kahnle, Jordan Montgomery, James Paxton, Gary Sanchez, and Gio Urshela to avoid arbitration. All deals are one year and non-guaranteed.
