Aaron Judge was hoping for a contract extension getting done before the season got started, but it did not happen. The Yankees offered around 230 million dollars, but apparently Judge was looking for more. Judge is betting on himself and he could win out or lose out on alot of money and this is why.
Judge is a talented player and has proved to be a very good hitter and outfielder for the Yankees. The problem is he has had a history on injuries throughout his career as well. If he gets hurt again this year he may find it tough to get an offer like the Yankees offered him. The Yankees outfielder is betting on himself to stay healthy and have a great season to get top dollar. Thats a risky bet in my opinion. When you get a chance to get good money you take it when it is offered.
I can understand what Judge is doing and it may work out for him. It could also go south for him as well. I guess we will have to wait and see how this all plays out in the end. The Yankees could decide to save the money and go in a different direction or offer less if Judge has a subpar season in 2022 or is injured.
