Aaron Judge signs record-breaking deal to stay with the Yankees—how his salary stacks up against other top players - CNBC

Yankee fans sighed a breath of relief as star player Aaron Judge signed a contract to continue playing in pinstripes for the next nine years.

That attitude, along with a historic season that saw Judge set a new single-season home run record, helped the slugger broker the more lucrative deal.

After reportedly shopping offers from other teams, including the San Francisco Giants, Judge got a deal that worked for him to stay in the Bronx.

At around $40 million per season, Judge will become the highest-paid position player in the league.

Brands including Adidas, Hulu and Pepsi have teamed up with Judge to promote a variety of products throughout his career. .

Whatever success is left for Judge to find, it seems he's determined to find it as a Yankee.
