However, the slugger has now revealed that he regrets declining the Yankees\’ offer.

Aaron Judge Regrets Refusing Yankees\’ Offer!

Aaron Judge hit 62 home runs in his first season in Major League Baseball, leading the American League in that season\’s totals. When Judge was just one year into his MLB career, he immediately cemented his position as the league\’s undisputed leader. The Yankees outfielder then improved upon the achievement and duplicated it five years later. Aaron will be a free agent in the MLB market after the 2022 season concludes. Despite not having a contract with any MLB team as of yet, the probable 2022 AL MVP has made a significant statement.

Aaron Judge recently discussed the start of 2022 in an interview with MLB Network following the presentation of his first American League Hank Aaron Award. The four-time All-Star goes into further detail about his concern over the sizable wager he placed on himself. He felt that he should have accepted the Yankees\’ offer, which had an impact on his efficiency on the field. Judge acknowledged during the interview that he had some second thoughts about turning down the $30.5 million AAV offer.

He went on to discuss the opening two weeks of 2022 when he beat himself up for turning down the initial offer. The outfielder stated that after a few weeks of talking with his teammates and family, he was able to clear all of that. They counseled him to simply play his game and have trust in himself.

Since the World Series is over, Judge is free to speak with other clubs. He may now join another team for the first time in his career, though. Both Anthony Rizzo and Judge received qualifying offers from the Yankees on Thursday. This year\’s $19.65 million qualifying offer entitles the Yankees to a draft selection in the event that either player contracts with another team. Boone continues to believe that the Yankees will return Judge and Rizzo. In his first complete season in the Bronx, Rizzo blasted 32 home runs. However, His second half was hampered by back problems.

Aaron Judge probably won\’t make up his mind on his future for a while; he probably won\’t until at least December. However, it\’s predicted that he will ultimately secure a deal for more than $300 million. The Yankees want Judge back, but their desire may end in divorce if Judge has hurt feelings from the discussions from last spring, as well as from boos at Yankee Stadium.
