The New York Yankees and Aaron Judge failed to agree to a contract extension by an opening day deadline, general manager Brian Cashman said Friday.
Cashman told reporters the team offered the Yankees slugger an eight-year contract worth between $230.5 million and $234.5 million, the difference to have been determined in arbitration for this year’s salary.
Judge’s reps were seeking a nine-year deal and more than Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout makes annually. The sought-after deal would reportedly have been somewhere around $319.6 million in total.
Trout makes about $35.5 million annually. He signed a 12-year, $426.5 million deal in 2019.
Judge could become a free agent in November.
