MLB rumors: Live updates as Aaron Judge re-signs with Yankees, plus more from Winter Meetings


The 2022 Major League Baseball Winter Meetings have produced the biggest news of the offseason. Aaron Judge re-signed with the Yankees on Wednesday on a historic nine-year contract that will pay him $40 million per year (the highest average annual value ever for a position player). Judge landed back in New York despite serious efforts from both the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres to sign the record-setting slugger.

Judge, coming off a 62-home run season, was the top prize on the free agent market, but plenty of other All-Stars are still available, including Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts and Carlos Rodón. More free agent dominoes could fall Wednesday as the Winter Meetings wrap up in San Diego.

The MLB offseason is now a month old, and while the first few weeks were slow, things have picked up in recent days with Jacob deGrom (Rangers), Justin Verlander (Mets) and Trea Turner (Phillies) all landing with new teams. Here are the notable moves so far from the Winter Meetings.
