Here’s how much money the Yankees have offered Aaron Judge

The Yankees’ current offer to Aaron Judge would give him the highest annual salary for a position player in the history of baseball.

Judge has an offer “in the neighborhood” of $300 million over eight years to remain in The Bronx, according to ESPN, which added the Yankees could offer more based on what the San Francisco Giants do. The 30-year-old Judge, who was named the 2022 AL MVP after a historic season, met with the Giants last week.

Mike Trout currently has the highest average annual salary among position players at $35.5 million a season. Max Scherzer has the highest of any player at $43.3 million a year after signing his historic deal with the Mets last year.

Judge broke Roger Maris’ American League record by hitting 62 home runs this year, adding 131 RBIs and 133 runs while slashing .311/.425/.686.
