MLB rumors: Live updates as Aaron Judge stays with Yankees; Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Rodòn still on market
Aaron Judge #AaronJudge
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), Trea Turner (Phillies), Willson Contreras (Cardinals) and Cody Bellinger (Cubs) all landing with new teams. Here are the notable moves so far from the Winter Meetings.
CBS Sports will be keeping track of the latest rumors, signings and trades through the end of the Winter Meetings on Wednesday. Follow along below for live updates.
