As the World Series came to an end, and the winter meetings came close, Aaron Judge and his free agency became the unstoppable talk of MLB town. Finally, the 2022 AL MVP signed a whopping and luxurious $360 million contract with the New York Yankees for nine whole years.

And without any hesitation, before making his first appearance as the Yankees captain, the slugger immediately went out and made his first purchase using his annual $40 million. Consequently, Judge arrived at the official paper signing wearing a sumptuous Rolex that cost over $200,000 and, in total, topped the price of three luxurious Conor McGregor watches.

So, this is where Aaron Judge made use of his annual $40 million

Shortly after rumors of the Judge and the New York Yankees signing hit the air, the slugger made a purchase of the Daytona, nicknamed the “Eye of the Tiger.” The 2017 and 2022 American League home run leader reached the official Yankees signing, where he was announced as the leader of the Pinstripes, wearing this Daytona watch on its rubber Oysterflex bracelet.

The $200,000 watch found its way to the GQ Sports list of the “rarest, wildest, and most covetable watches spotted on celebrities.”

The “Eye of the Tiger” watch, which features a bezel adorned with 36 diamonds and a dial adorned with 243 additional diamonds arranged in a tiger-stripe pattern, released in 2019. And recently found its rightful suitor in the $360 million, 62 homer man, Aaron Judge.

Notably, Conor McGregor owns a $20,000 (Rolex Cosmograph Daytona), a $65,000 (Patek Philippe Nautilus), and a $62,000 (Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date). In total, all these three watches cost more than $150,000 combined. However, this is still lesser than Judge’s “Eye of the Tiger” which surpasses $200,000 in value.

How did the Judge receive a $130 million boost?

Back to the 2022 offseason, when Judge was preparing to enter his final year as a free agent, Brian Cashman offered the Yankees slugger received an eight-year contract worth $213 million. However, the star outfielder failed to reach a common negotiation with the Pinstripes, and entered the 2022 season on a $19 million contract, following which he would enter free agency.

Correspondingly, he entered 2022 with a huge bet on himself. But, as is visible today, the 2022 AL MVP fought against all the odds and entered the 2023 offseason as the greatest free agent in modern-day baseball. The demands that he made in 2021, for a longer and wealthier contract, fell into place. And Hal Steinbrenner offered Judge a massive nine-year contract worth $360 million and appointed him as Derek Jeter’s successor – the captain of New York Yankees.
