2. A Carlos Correa type deal – 3 years 100 million with opt-outs

The Chicago White Sox could offer Aaron Judge a contract with opt-outs.

Carlos Correa was one of the biggest free agents over the previous offseason. A lot of people thought that he was going to sign a big 10-year deal with someone and finish out his career with that team. It was also assumed that it would be with one of the big-money franchises.

Instead, he decided to sign a short-term deal with the Minnesota Twins who nobody had on their bingo cards. He is making a lot of money but the biggest wrinkle in the contract is that he can opt out after any f the years. It is fair to assume that he will be out after this disappointing season for them.

The Minnesota Twins didn’t do enough this year to make it worth it for Correa to stay. However, the White Sox might be able to get something out of a deal like this with Judge. He might make a lot of money per season but giving him the chance to get out of it might make it work.

The White Sox have a lot invested in the 2023 season. If they don’t win the World Series that year or at least make a deep playoff run, there are going to be even more changes.

That is why adding Judge with a contract like this would be really smart. In one year, he can decide that this team is worth sticking around for in a great city or he can move on if they fail to make the playoffs again.
