Aaron Judge and Joba Chamberlain

Joba Chamberlain, the ex-Yankee star has his very own verdict on the whole Aaron Judge and the Yankees salary situation. According to him his ex-team, The New York Yankees should pay him a sum of $40 Million a year to keep him playing for the team in the next season and even after that.

If the New York Yankees do listen to their ex-team player, the contract would make Aaron Judge the second highest paid player in Major League Baseball following Max Scherzer, whose annual payday gets him $43 Million. Joba Chamberlain says although this is a big leap the Yankees have to do it.

Give him a key to the city.” 30-year-old Aaron Judge is a flight risk according to Joba, he feels after the entire arbitration situation, the Yankees have to swoop in with a contract north of the historic $37 million-per-year pact that Mike Trout just recently signed with the Los Angeles Angels.

He is on his pace to hit around 60 home runs. Despite this, Judge has been locked in what appears to be fairly contentious negotiations with the Yankees, who have still yet to give him a new long-term deal even though he’s just months away from free agency. Can you imagine? Aaron Judge, a free agent trade?

Clearly, if it were up to Joba Chamberlain, that wouldn’t remain the case for much longer. Why would New York Yankees want their star performer to leave them after a jaw-dropping season?
