"[URL='https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33192/aaron-judge']Aaron Judge[/URL] answered baseball's burning offseason question Wednesday, agreeing to a nine-year, $360 million contract to remain with the [URL='https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/_/name/nyy/new-york-yankees']New York Yankees[/URL], sources confirmed to ESPN.

Judge, 30, hit free agency after one of the greatest seasons in baseball history, hitting an American League-record 62 homers to break the mark set by Roger Maris in 1961. Judge earned his first MVP award while hitting .311/.425/.686 with an AL-leading 131 RBIs.

Judge's historic season came after the outfielder failed to reach a contract extension with the Yankees ahead of Opening Day, with general manager Brian Cashman publicly revealing that the team's final extension offer was seven years, $213.5 million.

After the season, team owner Hal Steinbrenner said he wanted Judge to be a Yankee for life and met with the slugger in Tampa, Florida, to talk about a contract."
