The most recent rumor surrounding the AL MVP’s free agency suggested the ex-Yankees slugger is going to the San Francisco Giants. An esteemed baseball columnist Jon Heyman seconded this rumor through Twitter. He too claimed that Judge is moving back home to the Bay Area to represent the Giants. But the Giants pitcher Logan Webb was not okay with what appeared to be a false alarm.
Aaron Judge rumors take a turn, and for the worse especially for the Giants pitcher
In a premature statement that surrounded the most recent, $360 million offer that Aaron Judge received from the Giants, Heyman reported the AL single-season HR leader is “headed to the San Francisco Giants.”

With a massive free agency gamble on himself, Judge smashed 62 home runs and won the American League MVP award. As a result, the outfielder has an extremely long list of suitors. And his free agency rumors persist in wild turns and speculations.
Shortly after triggering another set of rumors, Jon Heyman issued an apology for getting ahead of himself. He said, “Giants say they have not heard on Aaron Judge. My apologies for jumping the gun.”

And after reading this tweet, the Giants pitcher could not control taking a dig at the veteran journalist. He replied to Heyman’s tweet saying, “Not cool man.”
