Gardener Judge Aaron New York have turned down a $ 213.5 million offer for the Yankees and are in talks to extend their stay at the Bronx beyond 2022, team general manager Brian Kahman said Friday.
Cashman said the Yankees will pay the judge an average salary of $ 30.5 million between 2023 and 2029. With $ 17 million provided by the panel at the arbitral tribunal for 2022 (the player seeks $ 21 million), the total amount of the guarantee would have been higher. $ 230 million in eight years.
“We’ll all be disappointed not to be able to talk about the contract extension today, but we can not stop talking about it in the future,” Cashman said before the Yankees face rival Boston at Yankee Stadium in the opening game of the season.
The 30-year-old judge will be able to enter the free agency for the first time in his life at the end of the season in April. The 2017 Rookie, who finished fourth in last year’s AL MVP race, is a three-time All-Star.
In six years with the Yankees, the referee has averaged 45 home runs and 104 RBIs for 162 games, but the outfielder has only been able to play over 145 games twice a season in his young career.
The judge said he would only trade with the Yankees from the start of spring training until the first pitch of the season, and then focused on his work on the field.
“I have a game to focus on right now. If it happens, it will happen. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll see you after the game and talk about it,” the judge said Friday.
