Aaron Judge to Stay in New York: Yankees World Series Odds Immediately Boost

After all the conflicting reports and rumors that arose surrounding free agent outfielder Aaron Judge, he will be staying with the New York Yankees. On Tuesday morning, ESPN’s Buster Olney confirmed that the Yankees and Judge were in agreement on a massive nine-year agreement that will keep the slugger in The Bronx.

The Yankees were listed at +1000 to win the World Series before signing Judge, and after the move jumped to +900 (Per DraftKings).

Yankees World Series Odds: Aaron Judge Re-Signs

Check out the full updated World Series odds below:

Giants fans everywhere were in a celebratory mood on Tuesday night when the NY Post's Jon Heyman reported that San Francisco was nearing a deal to bring in Aaron Judge. But shortly thereafter, he admitted that he had "jumped the gun" and nothing was set in stone just yet.

The Yankees seemingly took that opportunity to bump their offer to Judge in order to keep him in their outfield after a historic season. Judge set an American League record with 63 home runs, adding 131 RBIs and batting .311 in the career year of 2022, coming away with the MVP trophy. The Giants had been +3500 underdogs to win the 2023 World Series but jumped to +2500 on Tuesday night when some of the Judge rumors surfaced. They now find themselves at +4000 after missing out on the Judge sweepstakes.

Despite the general consensus among media insiders that it was a clear two-horse race between the Yankees and Giants for Judge, it has been revealed that the prized free agent flew out to San Diego this week to meet with the Padres. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Judge was offered $400 million over 10 years with the Padres but chose to late slightly less money to remain in New York.

Throughout the whole process dating back to last offseason, Aaron Judge has made it clear that he absolutely loves being a Yankee. And despite failing to get over the hump in the postseason in each of the past six seasons, he wants to win a ring in New York. He'll have (at least) nine more years to accomplish that feat.
