It’s time for Aaron Judge to become a free agent, and the rumor mill is not going to stop any time soon. As the Yankees lost their third game of the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, the rumor mill once again strikes up.

Minor league teammates of the potential MVP and also a good friend recently discarded any rumors of Judge leaving the New York Yankees to get traded to the San Francisco Giants. Judge’s and Yankee fans do not want Judge to end up anywhere but in the Yankees in the off-season. But that does not stop fans from other teams from wanting the outfielder to come to their team as soon as the postseason is over.
All Rise had previously dropped hints of him staying as a Yankee while wearing a hoodie that said, “New York or nowhere.” According to the fans, Judge wearing that hoodie twice was not a coincidence, but him teasing his fans that he would be wearing Pinstripes for the rest of his career.
What did the close friend of Aaron Judge say about the rumor mill?
Twitter is a platform for people to share their opinions. One such man on the platform shared an insight from his SF Giants source that Aaron Judge will be a Giant next year. He also mentioned that the information is 90-95% correct. That’s a huge number to bet on. But, minor league player Michael O’Neill, who is also a friend of Judge, discarded the rumor by simply asking the Twitter user to compare sources.

Being a close friend of All Rise certainly gives him more chances to have that kind of information 100% correct. And if he is discarding this thing, then it most definitely will not be happening at any time.
Judge has broken many records in his six years of being a professional baseball player for MLB while wearing the same Pinstripes as he did when he broke Roger Maris’ record of 61 homers in a season.
How are fans reacting to the rumor mill once again in the air?
He sure is from that area, but maybe he won’t end up there.
He is from that area and I’m sure he grew up a giants fan. I’ve been saying all year that’s where he wants to go.😐🤷♂️

Maybe he will, maybe he won’t!
Isnt it too soon to tell? I doubt Judge will reject an overwhelming offer from the Giants.

Is he the next CAPTAIN though?
THANX FOR NEWS! He is the next "CAPTAIN" and sounds like dedicated Yankee like "JETER". He is the YANK FRANCHISE in a sense, It also shows a true yankee "TEAM PLAYER" and dedicated to his team who supports him and battles with to obtain the best. Good to hear more than money!
