Aaron Judge News
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge put the finishing touches on what was an epic comeback victory on Sunday. The Houston Astros no-hit the Yankees on Saturday and held them without a hit through six innings on Sunday. Somehow, the Yankees came back and tied the game at 3-3. Judge crushed a walk-off three-run home run in the 10th inning to lead the Yankees to an extra inning victory. The 30-year-old has put on a show this season and is going to be one of the hottest free agents this offseason, assuming the Yankees are unable to lock him up.
The New York Yankees and outfielder Aaron Judge agreed to a $19 million deal plus incentives for the 2022 season on Friday to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source. Judge can earn $250,000 for first place in the American League MVP voting and another $250,000 for World Series MVP this year. The 30-year-old slugger currently leads the AL MVP conversation and hit a walk-off single against the Houston Astros on Thursday. He's hitting an incredible .304/.379/.658 with 27 home runs, 53 RBI, 58 runs scored and five stolen bases so far this year. Judge was initially seeking $21 million in arbitration, while the Yankees countered with $17 million back in March. The right-handed slugger has said he wants to be a Yankee for life, and now the team has to feel much better about their chances of locking him up long-term.
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's salary arbitration hearing has been moved from Wednesday to Friday. Some reports have Judge's arbitration hearing as always being scheduled for Friday, but either way, although unlikely at this point, it'll afford the two sides a little extra time to perhaps get a long-term contract extension worked out. Judge initially requested $21 million for this year, while the Yankees countered at $17 million. On the field, the 30-year-old slugger is the easy favorite for American League MVP, as he's currently hitting .301/.380/.647 with a 1.026 OPS, a league-leading 25 home runs, a league-leading 55 runs scored, 50 RBI and five stolen bases in 65 games for the Yanks.

A healthy Aaron Judge is one of the best hitters in baseball, and he showed that in 2021. Judge had his best season since 2017 (when he played a career-high 155 games). He played 148 games last season with a .287 avg, 39 HR, 98 RBI, 89 R and 6 SB fantasy line. Judge's 25.0% K% was the lowest of his career (albeit still in the 25th percentile) while he still maintained an excellent BB% of 11.8% (85th percentile). The Yankees offense as a whole was a disappointment in 2021, otherwise, we'd be looking at someone with a 100+ runs and RBI season. But the thing that has held Judge back and made fantasy managers reluctant to draft him has been health. After playing just 112 and 102 games in 2018 and 2019 respectively, he managed just 29 games in 2020's shortened season so if his new offseason fitness regime he implemented before the 2021 campaign continues to work, there's no reason to believe he can't play 140+ games again in 2022. Judge's ADP is ~42 so still hasn't elevated given it was 53 in 2021 and 41 in 2020. If you secure stolen bases early, Judge offers one of the best power options in the draft and only injury will prevent that from happening.
