Yankees

The deal would have made Judge the highest paid position player in team history on an annual basis.

When he's on the field, Judge has always performed at an elite level, though staying on the field has been an issue at times. The Yankees have four players signed through at least 2025: Cole, Stanton, Aaron Hicks, and DJ LeMahieu. The Judge extension would have tied up approximately $110 million per year in only five players through 2025. For the Yankees, Judge is their best and most marketable player, a player whose value to the franchise transcends his on-field performance. Soon after reporting to spring training Judge indicated he would not negotiate a contract after Opening Day. "I'm gonna stick with that deadline. If we're not close by then, what's the point of communicating in the season?" It is rare for a general manager to publicly reveal the terms of a rejected contract offer. Cashman claimed he did so because the information would eventually come out anyway, so he was just ripping off the band-aid, though it's not hard to see this as an attempt at damage control. The Yankees have passed on several top free agents in recent years, including Harper and Manny Machado four years ago and Carlos Correa and Freddie Freeman this past offseason. "But at the same time, he knows there are no guarantees ... We are happy he is in pinstripes. Cashman did not rule out extension talks during the regular season, though Judge set a firm Opening Day deadline. The total extension value would have been $213.5 million. The Yankees filed at $17 million.

New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge has said the first pitch of Friday's season opener is his deadline to have a contract extension completed.

After a bad series or bad month … you should have signed that extension or something like.” “Unfortunately, we’ll be in a one-year setting,” Cashman said. “After a good series or good month … more talks. Please consider supporting us with a subscription. “Without a doubt,” he said. Instead, Judge will get a one-year contract through salary arbitration.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said the team and Aaron Judge failed to reach an agreement on an extension.

And he's an amazing player that wants to go out and be great and wants nothing more than to be a part of the championship club. “He's probably the biggest leader in that room. He wound up being traded three months later to the Yankees. He rejected the Cubs’ five-year, $70 million offer. But at the same time, he knows that there's no guarantees.’’ Yet, from 2018-2020, he was able to play in only 62% of the Yankees’ games. “I feel he's in a great spot mentally and at peace,’’ Cashman says. “I don’t want to be a distraction during the year. “When free agency starts,’’ Cashman says, “maybe that'll determine what is real market value would be because we certainly couldn't agree at this stage on on a contract extension. All eyes will be on the San Francisco Giants, who tried to acquire Giancarlo Stanton in a trade with the Miami Marlins before the 2018 season, only for Stanton to exercise his no-trade clause. He's one of the game's great players.’’ I don’t want it to be a distraction for my teammates.’’

If agreed upon, the new deal would make the outfielder the highest paid position player in franchise history.

The record deal for a Yankees player is currently pitcher Gerrit Cole, who earns around $36 million per year on his nine-year, $324 million contract. Former Yankee outfielder Alex Rodriguez earned $27.5 million per year on a 10-year deal signed in 2007. Judge’s annual salary would be at least $28 million.

The AL East rivals will kick off the new year at Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox have some bullpen questions to answer, otherwise this is a club built to score runs more than prevent them. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will begin their 2022 seasons at Yankee Stadium on Friday, April 8. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson replace Gleyber Torres and Gio Urshela on the left side of the infield, and Kyle Higashioka replaces Gary Sánchez at catcher.

Donaldson has only a few official appearances leading off (you have to go back to his MVP season in 2015 when he was on the Blue Jays). Torres couldn't quite handle the starting shortstop position last year and will slide back to second base this season. That, of course, was a loss in the American League Wild Card Game at Fenway Park. - Why the Yankees Believe They Will Win the World Series This Year Don't think this means Torres won't be playing routinely. There’s plenty to talk about with this order.

Lindsey Adler Lindsey Adler Lindsey Adler Lindsey Adler Judge, who turns 30 on April 26, is coming off an All-Star season in which he finished fourth in American League MVP voting. Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge turned down an extension offer of $230.5 million for the next eight seasons, general manager Brian Cashman said Friday, two hours before the team's 2022 season opener.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone explains starting DJ LeMahieu over Gleyber Torres at second base on Opening Day against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee ...

But he’ll probably be in there the next three, four, five, days days in there in a row.” “Just something I’ve been considering the last couple of days leading up to that decision, having some conversations with coaches. LeMahieu has the most career at-bats on the Yankees vs. “Feel like he’s in a good place in spring training and the beginning of the season. It’s going to serve them well because they’re going to be able to protect each other along the way.” But I think they all understand that it’s going to work itself over time and that it’s best to serve each other.

The organization proposed a seven-year extension averaging $30.5 million per year for the right fielder.

Cashman noted that there are “no guarantees” that the Yankees and Judge will be able to agree on the $30.5 million previously proposed by the end of the season. “Yeah, it’s concluded unfortunately we’ll be in a one-year setting yet to be determined number,” Cashman said. This number would have broken the franchise record for the highest yearly salary for a position player.

Gerrit Cole's first crack at the 2022 MLB season was not exactly encouraging considering his recent struggles against the Red Sox.

He was shaky out of the gate. The announcers on YES Network speculated that his frustration had to do with a slight delay in starting the game. The Yankees’ ace was roughed up in the first inning, allowing three runs before he was able to get an out.

NEW YORK – Aaron Judge arrived at Yankee Stadium on Friday morning without a contract extension, and the Yankees' slugger affirmed that talks would not ...

Despite all the contract buzz, Judge said he “slept great’’ on Thursday night. “We’ve got so many things to focus on, a lot of good things happening. I don’t want it to be a distraction during the year,’’ Judge said. This is like the first day of school.’’ “I’ve got a game to focus on. I know that’s his intent as well.

Heyman cautions that a person close to Judge contested those numbers. Max Scherzer ($43.333MM AAV over three years with the Mets) is the only player in history ...

Offering to sign Judge through age 37 is a significant gesture by the Yankees. The AAV, while perhaps not elite, isn’t unreasonably light and could be considered a tradeoff for the club including a seventh year. Of the 24 arbitration eligible players currently headed toward a midseason hearing to determine their 2022 salary, Judge’s $5MM gap with the Yankees ($17MM vs. The outfield market doesn’t project to be too impressive beyond Judge, with other names including Joey Gallo, Mitch Haniger, Brandon Nimmo, and Kiké Hernandez. Heyman adds that the Yankees were willing to include one or more opt-out possibilities for the star outfielder. 10:17am: Yankees GM Brian Cashman told reporters there will be no extension with Aaron Judge today, hours before the slugger’s self-imposed Opening Day deadline. Cashman sounds like he’d like to avoid an arbitration hearing for Judge’s 2022 salary, which Lindsey Adler of The Athletic believes would happen in June. Beyond that, the two sides will engage after the season.

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Donaldson capped his Yankees debut with an RBI single in the 11th inning, lifting New York over the Boston Red Sox 6-5 Friday for its ...

Opening Day at Yankee Stadium pitted the Yankees and Red Sox together in the Bronx, and Josh Donaldson was the hero with a walkoff hit.

“That guy was the life of the party. “He said (to) take care of it,’’ Judge said of Gardner, still a free agent after being the longest tenured Yankee through last season, and their last on-field link to the 2009 world championship. “He’s the ultimate team player, probably the biggest leader in that room – an amazing player that wants to be great and wants nothing more than being a part of a championship club. But one might detect a preference for the veteran DJ LeMahieu at second base on Opening Day over Torres, coming off two subpar seasons and with a little more to prove. At about the time that comedian Billy Crystal walked out to make the ceremonial first pitch, a livid-looking Cole was caught on the YES Network camera in the Yankees dugout. In the Yanks’ half of the 10th, Gleyber Torres – who was benched for the opener - lifted a one-out, bases loaded sacrifice fly to make it 5-5.

The Red Sox and Yankees needed 11 innings to decide their season opener, but Josh Donaldson's RBI single lifted the Yankees to a win.

The Red Sox pushed a run around in the sixth when Alex Verdugo singled in Bogaerts. 3. New infielder acquisition Trevor Story — who inked a six-year $140 million deal prior to the season — will need to wait a day for his next chance to make a good first impression. That subplot could linger in the background all season, even if Bogaerts hopes it doesn’t. He later told reporters he had a “tight hamstring.” The Red Sox had three runs before the Yankees could record an out. After a scoreless ninth, the game went into extra innings.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Verdugo went to his right to snag LeMahieu's line drive and end the inning. In a rematch of the 2021 American League Wild Card Game, the Red Sox jumped on Yankees ace Gerrit Cole early. Xander Bogaerts lined a go-ahead single in the top of the 10th inning to give the Red Sox a 5-4 lead, but he appeared to injure himself coming out of the batter's box and had to leave the game for the bottom of the 10th.

Aaron Judge's self-imposed deadline for a new contract expired with no deal, but a walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox in extra innings helped ease the ...

He now has the space at the far end of the clubhouse, between an empty stall and the entrance to the off-limits areas. Stanton, who rifled a homer into the first row of right field seats on Friday, has had two healthy seasons in New York, and two cut short by injuries. It is hard to predict how Judge will age, because there has never been a player his size to use as a basis for comparison. When the Red Sox signed infielder Trevor Story last month (six years, $140 million), they made it a prerequisite that Story get the vaccine. “We’re going to obviously be entering those efforts in a new arena, which would be at the end of the season, when free agency starts. “In terms of turning the clock back, there’s nothing for me to address there,” Cashman said. “But I’m never going to rule out, if the opportunity exists, to revisit things over the course of time. Then again, others lose the bet, like Juan Gonzalez, who also rejected an offer from the Tigers, for $140 million, and wound up making about $46 million the rest of his career. The start of Friday’s game was Judge’s deadline to sign a contract extension before the off-season, when he will be eligible for free agency. The Yankees, Cashman said, would be willing to keep talking. The Yankees were relatively quiet in the off-season, mostly ignoring a robust free agent market. Judge was on deck to slap hands with Isiah Kiner-Falefa, the ghost runner who hustled home from second base.

Josh Donaldson felt the pressure of coming into a new market and making a strong first impression -- and in his Yankees debut, the veteran third baseman ...

"Especially if both sides are expected to win, so it's always fun playing in these types of games." Donaldson, 36, needed to trust the process that carried him to 251 career homers and an MVP award before he arrived in New York this offseason via trade from the Minnesota Twins. "Everybody feels that," Donaldson said.

Donaldson, debuting for his new club, had the Yankees' first Opening Day walk-off hit in more than 60 years.

The Yankees and Red Sox traded runs in the tenth. Boston is stretching Whitlock out, possibly to start later in the season, and he retired seven of the first eight batters he faced after the Red Sox regained the lead. He has made the adjustment to pitch down in the zone -- Cole also picked up a cutter in spring training and threw three on Opening Day -- and it's an ongoing process. Like everyone else after the short spring, Cole was on a pitch count on Opening Day. He threw 68 pitches (27 in the first inning alone) and was slated to throw 75 or so. On paper, the Yankees have the bullpen advantage over the Red Sox, but the Red Sox have Garrett Whitlock, who they poached from the Yankees in the Rule 5 Draft last offseason. Stanton's home run tied the game 3-3 in the bottom of the fourth. Fortunately we were able to settle in after that and give us a chance to win." Gerrit Cole tried to throw a 99-mph heater by him at the top of the zone, but Devers beat him to the spot and went deep. Judge set an Opening Day deadline for talks and he is scheduled to become a free agent after the season. Moreso than the game itself, the top story to come out of Yankee Stadium on Opening Day is the Yankees and Aaron Judge failing to agree to a contract extension. "... To show some resiliency and fight back and hang in there -- total team win, bullpen did a great job -- hopefully it leads to great things in the future." Obviously the first four pitches were not really competitive," Cole said after the game.

Aaron Judge said he and the Yankees had until Opening Day's first pitch to get an extension done. Brian Cashman, however, called negotiations at 11:15 a.m. ...

While Judge’s impending free agency will now be a storyline throughout the 2022 campaign, the two sides will have time to hammer out a deal after the season. Cashman said that the Yankees offered Judge $213.5 million over seven years, an average annual value of $30.5 million, in addition to a $17 million salary (New York’s arbitration filing number for Judge) in 2022. The same technically goes for a long-term pact, but Judge made it clear that he didn’t want to talk about an extension during the season.

The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium on a walk-off single from third baseman Josh Donaldson in extra innings.

King pitched a scoreless inning in the top of the 11th, setting the Yankees up to win the game in the bottom of the frame. Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was lights-out in the top of the ninth, striking out two of the three batters he faced. Jonathan Arauz, who scored on the play, began the inning on second base as Boston's automatic runner, a rule that was brought back for extra innings again this season. Meanwhile, New York's offense promptly battled back, riding the home run ball to tie the game at three runs apiece. Both were acquired in last month's blockbuster trade with the Twins, sending catcher Gary Sánchez and infielder Gio Urshela to Minnesota. That's when New York's newcomers stepped up on the biggest stage.

This Yankees' offseason, literally to the final minutes before their 2022 opener Friday, played out as if the franchise were trying to see just how much it ...

Instead, he reaffirmed that he will now next discuss a deal with the Yankees or any of the other 29 teams when he is a free agent. Also in words and actions during the game he showed a tunnel vision not to let the business of baseball impact his play. This will be the opener when negotiations between Judge and the Yankees closed. Torres is coming off of two down years, and if the roster depth of the Yankees needed a symbol, he did not start on Opening Day and was admittedly annoyed about it. But the most important transactions for the Yankees likely will not be outsiders, they will be if they can reacquire all of those position players who went south in 2021 — and took the offense with them. But after his starry 2019-20 seasons and signing a six-year, $90 million pact, LeMahieu came down a few notches in 2021, perhaps due to a core injury that would lead to hernia surgery in the offseason.

Yankees All-Star right fielder Aaron Judge reiterated to reporters on Friday that he not interested in discussing a contract extension during the season.

The Yankees are expected to contend for the AL East crown in 2022, and Judge is the centerpiece to making that happen. The Yankees reportedly offered Judge a new contract that would have paid him more than $233 million. Judge gave the Yankees a deadline of Opening Day for the two sides to reach a contract extension.

Aaron Judge addressed his contract situation after an Opening Day victory, making it clear he's open to negotiating with other teams at the end of this season.

"I'm just disappointed because I think I've been vocal about being a Yankee for life, I want to bring a championship back to New York, I want to do it for the fans here," he said. To turn down a deal that would end up exceeding $230 million is quite the gamble for Judge, though. Therefore, his contract for this season is yet to be determined. "At the end of the year, I'm a free agent. What Judge did get into, however, is his openness to enter free agency after this season. New York and their three-time All-Star did not agree to a long-term deal—something both parties have publicly stated they hoped to accomplish—prior to first pitch on Opening Day.

He stayed in the game. “That’s the kind of atmosphere you want to play in. Every pitch counts and that’s the way we’re taking it.” “I’m sure today was a really tough day for him,” Boone said. Eovaldi, who allowed three runs and five hits in five innings, didn't give up his second home run last year until June 4. New York star Aaron Judge let his deadline pass for a long-term contract. Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP with Toronto, was acquired from Minnesota on March 13. Both were off Nathan Eovaldi, who beat Cole in last year’s AL wild-card game. “Some people handle it really well, some people not as much,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this right here.” Anthony Rizzo had a two-run drive in the bottom half and Stanton tied it at 3 with a leadoff homer in the fourth. “The energy in the stadium, the atmosphere was pretty electric,” Donaldson said Friday after his 11th-inning single lifted the Yankees over the Boston Red Sox 6-5.

Stanton knows what it’s like playing with extra pressure from having a big contract. He’s got work to do and we’ve got to focus.” “There’s plenty of time,” Stanton said.

“A guy that, it didn’t matter if he played, he would be out there every single day,’’ Judge said of Gardner. “It didn’t matter if he was coming off the bench, he’d go out there and give 110 percent. “He was a leader. Rizzo stayed in the game and said he was OK. “I tried to get the ball in play.” He was a prankster. “As a player, everybody wants to make [the lineup on] Opening Day,’’ Torres said.

"It definitely felt good to give us a boost like that," Rizzo said.

The Yankees have treated him extremely well.” “He should have taken the money. “What the Yankees offered Judge was good.

King punched out left fielder Alex Verdugo and second baseman Trevor Story before getting first baseman Bobby Dalbec to ground out to short, ending the threat while stranding the go-ahead run on second. That's a pitch he leaned on heavily during Friday's and an offering he will continue to twirl all season long. I went out there for the 11th and thought the same thing. Number aside, King played a significant role in New York's Opening Day victory, pitching the 10th and 11th innings. "Bogaerts was able to flip me into left field for a single, felt like it was a good pitch but that happens with good hitters. So, I was begging for all of '21 and finally got it for this year."

Another $31 million is allocated for team options for just two players – Luis Severino and Anthony Rizzo. There will not be much left over to fill out the rest of the roster considering how the Yankees have been concerned with staying under the luxury tax. Judge is a key part of their marketing and promotions. The New York Yankees took their time when it came to Aaron Judge this offseason. Judge turned down what the team called their best offer – a seven year deal worth $30.5 million per year. They already have over $118 million committed to the roster for 2023 with just five players signed. Instead, the Yankees finally got around to Judge over the past few days, waiting to discuss that extension until recently.

Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge expressed frustration at not finalizing a long-term contract extension with the club with which he wants to spend the rest ...

Judge added: "At the end of the year, I'm a free agent -- will talk to 30 teams, and the Yankees will be one of those 30 teams. I will just focus on what I need to do on the field and everything else will take care of itself." I got to shift my focus to that now and play some ball." I like to keep that private. Judge had self-imposed a deadline of Opening Day for coming to terms on an extension that would have prevented him from hitting free agency. It stinks, but I got a job to do on the field.

Here are the lineups for the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, April 9, 2022.

• 3B Josh Donaldson (2-for-6, 1RBI) made his Yankees debut and hit a “walk-off” single in the 11th inning…according to Elias, Donaldson is just third Yankee since RBIs became an official stat in 1920 to record a “walk-off” RBI in their Yankees debut…joined Roy Weatherly on 4/22/1943 vs. Baltimore over the stretch…faced an AL East foe for the fifth time in the last six seasons (since 2017). Washington-AL (also Opening Day) and Chase Headley on 7/22/2014 vs. • Faced an AL East team on Opening Day for the 16th time in the last 21 seasons (since 2002), having played five such games vs. • Are 37-18-1 (.673) all-time at home on Opening Day…opened the season at home for the second straight season and the third time in the last four years and the fifth time in the last eight seasons…are 13-4 in their last 17 Opening Day games at home. • For the second straight season, the Yankees played extra innings on Opening Day…marked the 13th extra-inning Opening Day contest in franchise history…prior to last year, the Yankees had not played an extra-inning game on Opening Day since 1987.

Failing to extend Aaron Judge lies at the feet of Brian Cashman.

It just feels less and less like the Yankees invest in their fanbase the way the fanbase invests in them. It’s the role of marketing folks to sell the product, and the job of an FO to win as many games as possible given both internal and external constraints. His team is still good, if not as good as it could be, I’m still going to root for them, and when the next crop of laundry comes up, I’ll find favorite players there too. And really, that’s all I could think about yesterday, when the news came down that the Yankees weren’t able to agree to an extension with their best player. It’s clear, though, the Yankees are relying on the inertia of fandom. Nobody from the big 2013 spending class is either, and honestly, not that many of the Baby Bombers are left.
