New York Yankees fans react to team's reported 8-year, $300 million offer to superstar Aaron Judge

The New York Yankees have reportedly offered reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge an eight-year deal worth $300 million. The team isn't wasting any time as the market for Judge is starting to heat up. He met with the San Francisco Giants last week and it was rumored that they were preparing to make an offer.New York's offer is a ballpark figure, but it could make Aaron Judge the highest-paid baseball player annually. Mike Trout ($36 million) and Max Scherzer ($43.3 million) are currently the two highest-paid players annually.Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksThe Yankees current offer to Aaron Judge is around eight years and $300 million, per @JeffPassan7141556The Yankees current offer to Aaron Judge is around eight years and $300 million, per @JeffPassan https://t.co/XXylvhkuH5The New York Yankees have been adamant that their top priority this off-season is to re-sign Aaron Judge. They're trying to do everything they can to retain him, but is it enough?New York Yankees fans are hoping this offer is enough to re-sign him. &quot;If he doesn't accept that, let him walk. Spend that money elsewhere,&quot; one fan explained.Alex Gorell@alex_gorell@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan If he doesn’t accept that, let him walk.

I love Judge but this deal is way more than fair. He's not repeating what he did this year and you already know the last 3-4 years of this deal will be atrocious. Dude is 31 and will be 40 when this deal ends. More than enough!&quot; said another.Chino 🇵🇷⚾️@JohnLopez094I see nothing wrong with this offer. I love Judge but this deal is way more than fair.

He better tell them to take a hike with their $300 million and ask for at least $325 on principle.37@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan He risked $213 million to play with no deal, and had a historic MVP season.

Robinson@pprobinson@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan This may be unpopular but I think we need to make this an exploding offer. It’s in our best interests. The longer this drags, the more we live in indecision on other moves and how to make next year our year. And too much money will drive our ability to field a winner around him.7@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan This may be unpopular but I think we need to make this an exploding offer. It’s in our best interests.

Reports saying Giants offer was “underwhelming” and no one else seems to be this engaged. He’s almost *too* valuable. Teams can’t afford/don’t want to pay what he’s “valued.” He’ll be a Yankee again by Winter Meetings.18@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan They may not need to offer more.

Enjoy him San Francisco.@TalkinYanks @JeffPassan He’s gone. Enjoy him San Francisco.Fans are split on the offer. Some think that it is more than enough for him to re-sign. While it's not the highest free-agent signing in history, it's still a fair deal considering he'll be 40 when this deal ends.Other fans don't think this is going to be enough to sign him. They think another team, like the Giants or Los Angeles Dodgers, can easily beat that offer. They don't want their team to be outbid when they're capable of giving Judge what he's asking for.The New York Yankees wanted to get out in front on their quest to re-sign Aaron JudgeChampionship Series - New York Yankees v Houston Astros - Game TwoIt's being rumored that Aaron Judge could sign by the end of the MLB Winter Meetings that are scheduled for next week. Could it be that simple for the New York Yankees?Owner Hal Steinbrenner has told Judge how much he means to the team, and he wants him to know that with this offer as well. With an offer already on the table, it will be interesting to see if other teams scramble to make an offer.
