“If They Miss Out, It Won’t Be Because of Money”- $3.5 Billion Team Likely to Beat Others to Free Agent Aaron Judge’s Signature According to MLB Insider

With the New York Yankees knocked out of the 2022 postseason, all focus has shifted toward Aaron Judge’s free agency in the coming weeks. Notably, since Judge will be out of his contract, the Yankees slugger will listen to offers from every MLB team that intends to sign him.

Ever since making his big league debut, Judge has played only for the Pinstripes, and in the last few years, he has become an important part of the Yankees clubhouse. Although there are several teams interested in landing Judge by their side, the San Francisco Giants seem to be the most confident.

San Francisco Giants are willing to do anything to sign Aaron Judge in the free agency

Per Randy Miller of NJ.com, the San Francisco Giants, (a $3.5 billion worth team) are a serious contender to land Aaron Judge by their clubhouse. Not many people might be aware, but while growing up, Judge lived about 90 minutes from San Francisco in Linden, California. 

Even to date, Judge’s parents live in the same place. Per NJ.com, the Giants’ priority will be to land Aaron Judge as soon as possible in their clubhouse. Because money will not be a problem for the NL franchise.

“Judge is at the top of the Giants list and they won’t be underbid,” a baseball source said to NJ. “If they miss out, it won’t be because of money. The Giants are not going to stop with Judge. They have so much money freed up.”
