Judge's agent sold way too cheap on that contract.
I think it’s low because he’s still in the early arbitration years. Your salary can only go up so much in arb so the Yankees actually have quite a bit of leverage.

It's a net positive for sure, although you kind of hate that you aren't going to have guaranteed production for 4 years that you are paying for. This trade certainly poses more long term risk, but simultaneously gives the Twins easily a Top 5 batting order in baseball going into 2020. My questions are 1) Can he stay healthy? and 2) Can he remain productive as he goes from his mid-late 30s during the life of his contract? Hope the answer to both questions are yes. I'm a little pissed we added another 100+ k's to our lineup of strikeout kings already, but at least JD takes his fair share of walks too.Donaldson wasn't the signing I was hoping for entering this offseason but it's a reasonable consolation prize. Twins still need starting pitching long term certainly, and this season ideally. I truly think a trade is the way to go as while are some promising pitching prospects in the system nothing looks close to a sure thing as a starter.

Not a Yankee lover, nor a hater, but can someone explain to me how Jeter, gets 99.7% of the votes for the hall of fame, only left off one ballet. Other that he played for the yankees?
He was a great player, but all-time WAR 72.4, for 88 all time, only major awards he won was rookie of the year, and 5 time gold glove. Hell he was never the best SS on his team, that was Arod. 3400 hits over a 20 year career.
Put Jeter in Minnesota or Pittsburgh and his in the Hall of very good, but not great, put him in NY, and he gets 99% of the vote.
