The 30-year-old outfielder extended his staying in the Bronx this past December by agreeing to a nine-year extension worth $360million, significantly less guaranteed money than what the Padres had offered him. Judge's agent, Padle Odle of PSI Management, told The Athletic that San Diego's proposal would've been the second-largest contract in baseball history, only behind Mike Trout's 12-year, $426.5million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. As things currently stand in the hierarchy of contracts in today's MLB, Judge's renewal with the Bronx Bombers is the third biggest deal in the league, behind Trout's and Mookie Betts, of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is on a 12-year, $365million deal that runs until 2033. Judge, who just came off a stellar season by slugging 62 home runs to break the AL record of 61 set by Rodger Maris, is now on course to earn $40million per year on his new Yankees contract, more than the Padres' $34.6million a year offer. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge rejected a $415M, 12-year offer from the Padres this offseason Padres owner Peter Seidler (R) flew out Judge and his agents to San Diego to woo the AL MVP However, the California native will make less $55million less in guaranteed money than if he had sign with the Padres. Odle further revealed that the Padres attempted to lure Judge back to his home state by flying in the AL MVP, his representatives, family and even his dog, to San Diego on a private jet. The right-handed slugger and his agents then met with Padres executives, including manager Bob Melvin, GM A.J. Preller and owner Peter Seidler. However, it was always going to be hard sell to get Judge out of New York, as it's believed that the four-time All-Star returned to the east coast to leverage a better offer from the Yankees front office soon after his trip out west. Judge extended his stay in NYC by signing a nine-year deal worth $360million in December The prospect of playing for another MLB team will probably not be an opportunity that'll resurface for the 2017 AL Rookie of the Year, who'll be 39 years old when his contract in the Bronx expires in 2032. That won't bother Judge, who made it clear that his mind is only on bringing a 28th World Series title back to New York. 'What I want more than anything else is to be on the field when the Yankees celebrate their next championship,' Judge said when he received his MVP award at the Baseball Writers' Association of American dinner in Manhattan in January. 'And there's no reason why we shouldn't be in that conversation every year. But especially this year.'
