Aaron Judge is a professional baseball player for the New York Yankees. Aaron Judge wants his team to pay him $360 million dollars in ten years. However, the Yankees were offering him $30.5 million dollars a year and that was already a lot. The top players like Mookie Bett, Mike Trout, and Fernando Tatis Jr. are getting more than $30 million dollars per year. Aaron Judge wants to get more money than those top players in different teams even though they are better than him. So, Aaron Judge shouldn’t get over $30 million dollars per year.

First, Judge wants more money even though his team is already offering him too much and he gets more than triple the money that other baseball players get. He isn’t even as good as some other players in baseball and he wants to get the same amount of money they receive. Also, he wants a ten-year contract. The Yankees are offering him a lot because, without him, their team wouldn’t be very good. Aaron Judge has played in 112 games out of 162 (he missed about one-third of the games), but he is very good at hitting home runs for his team.

However, if Aaron Judge left, then the Yankees would not be in good shape. The bottom half of the team was already struggling. So, it was up to the top of the team to win the games, and Judge has been winning all the games that the Yankees were playing in. Today, Aaron Judge is one of baseball’s best ten to twelve players.

Finally, the Yankees have the best record in baseball, but the team couldn’t have done it without Judge and all the home runs that he has hit. I would give Aaron Judge $25 million dollars per year because he might not be as good as some other players on other teams, but he is good for the Yankees.
