News about José Quintana

Aaron Judge's latest deal with the Yankees has been finalized, ensuring the record-breaking slugger is now signed through the 2031 season. The nine-year, $360 million contract was announced earlier this month but not officially announced it until a team tweet on Tuesday: "The New York Yankees today announced that Aaron Judge, a four-time All-Star and 2022 American League Most Valuable Player, has been signed to a nine-year Major League contract extending into the 2031 season.' Judge Robert largely turned down a seven-year deal worth $213.5 million before the season, but he was rewarded for his decision by hitting a record 62 home runs in 2022 before signing his third biggest contract in baseball. The Yankees ($230 million for 2023) currently rank second in payroll behind the crosstown New York Mets ($261 million), who have gone on their own spending spree this offseason by adding pitchers Justin Verlander, José Quintana, and Kodai Senga.

On Tuesday, billionaire Steve Cohen of the New York Mets added to his league-high payroll by approving over $200 million in new contracts, as well as free-agent pitchers José Quintana and David Robertson. Of course, Nimmo, who received a $2 million signing bonus, will get $162 million. Nimmo became a free agent last month for the first time in a quality leadoff hitter with a.385 percent on-base percentage. For the first time since 2016, he was a key performer as the Mets returned to the playoffs this year.
