“That Better Not Get Out”- Aaron Judge Reveals How His Wife Brought Up a San Francisco Giant Dream Which May Never Come True

American League’s single-season home run king, Aaron Judge, is the hottest thing in the MLB world right now. Notably, he just grabbed a $360 million deal with the Yankees. Although it is impossible for Yankees fans to imagine Judge playing somewhere else, the Pinstripes slugger himself once predicted his future with the San Francisco Giants.

Judge discussed how his wife Samantha reminded him of the predictions that he made over a decade ago. And the Yankees’ star jokingly admitted that those predictions should not come out.

What were the predictions that Aaron Judge made in high school?

In an interview with TIME magazine, which awarded Aaron Judge with the title of ‘Athlete of the year’, the outfielder talked about the predictions his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, reminded him about. Seemingly in 2010, only two things mattered to Judge. One was getting married to Samantha, and the other was playing for the San Francisco Giants.

“I said, in 10 years, I’ll be married to Sam,” Judge said while talking to TIME. “and playing for the San Francisco Giants.” Judge smiles. “I was like, that’d better not get out.”

Notably, his one prediction came true in 2021 when Judge married the love of his life, Samantha. However, after signing the 9-year contract with Pinstripes, he might never play for the Giants.

Currently, Judge is 30 years old, and by the time his contract with the Yankees will expire, he will be 39. And from that point, it is almost impossible for the Yankees slugger to pursue his dream of playing for the Giants.

How did Judge’s saga start?

It all started when the Yankees offered All Rise $213.5 million for seven years earlier this year. But Judge knowing his capabilities declined that offer. He asked the team to not make any offers during the season. But as the season progressed, and Judge was getting close to breaking Roger Maris’ record, his value in the free agency increased to a new high.

Soon as the season ended for the Yankees, Judge entered free agency. Apart from the Yankees, the Padres and Giants were the frontrunners to get his signature. However, it were the Yankees who convinced their talisman to stay and play a few more years in the Bronx.
