After a lot of back-and-forth, Aaron Judge has agreed to remain with the New York Yankees on a nine-year, $360 million deal.
The San Francisco Giants reportedly offered Judge a substantial contract as well, but he chose to remain with the ballclub he had spent the entirety of his career with up to this point.
In the days leading up to this decision, Judge went on a recruiting tour of sorts. One of his stops this past Monday night was a game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints.
While at the outing with his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, eagle-eyed MLB fans couldn’t help but notice something:

It was a simple observation, but one that generated a lot of buzz.
The reactions poured in immediately:

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks that Samantha has blown up online for one reason or another. Between her provocative outfit choice causing a stir during the playoffs, their photos getting frisky at a party together and just her general viral antics – it has been one thing after another with her.
Last season Judge hit an American League-record 62 home runs to shatter the record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Beyond that, he also won his first MVP and hit a staggering .311/.425/.686 while leading the American League with 131 RBIs.
What a fight. A new college basketball star was born last night. https://t.co/jxTd6z8Qbt

Judge’s contributions were a big reason why the Yankees did as well as they did last year.
Will he be able to improve upon that next season? Will he and Samantha officially reign as the King and Queen of the New York sports scene for the next decade?
The Yankees are certainly hoping so based on the contract they just handed him.
