Just on Tuesday, Aaron was reported to have signed with the Giants, but those reports proved to be inaccurate.
The free agent deal with the Yankees has been confirmed by MLB.com.
Aaron turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million extension before the season. In 2022 he had a .311 batting average and an MLB-best .425 on-base percentage.
“I’ve been clear about that since I first wore the pinstripes,” he said the night the Yankees were eliminated this season. “But we couldn’t get something done before Spring Training, and now I’m a free agent. We’ll see what happens.”
Aaron Judge‘s new deal beats Bryce Harper’s previous $330 million record deal.
