Not only did Judge become the new American League home run king, but he recently signed a nine-year, $360 million deal to stay with the New York Yankees. It was the largest free agent deal in MLB history, perfectly fitting for the 6’7″ slugger.
This week has been a whirlwind for Judge. Press conferences, photo shoots, and interviews have kept Judge busy. The ever-stylish 30-year-old recently took part in a cover story for the magazine GQ Hype.
The publication declared 2022 is “the year baseball came back to New York,” highlighting major free agent signings by the Yankees and Mets. The Yankees’ captain used the opportunity to show off his impressive Air Jordan collection. Below is everything fans need to know about Judge’s kicks.
