Aaron Judge is presently the quintessential modern-day iconic representation of MLB. Throughout this entire year, he has remained a trending topic for multiple reasons. During the recent MLB season, Judge grabbed headlines with historic home runs. Now in the offseason, the MLB followers are constantly speculating about his future team.
The reigning MVP had an equally magnificent season. The Yankees’ offensive and defensive star’s performances played a massive role in taking his franchise to this year’s postseason. Therefore, the free agent, who set the American League’s highest seasonal home runs, has seen his stakes go higher.

As per common knowledge, the San Francisco Giants are now a leading contender in acquiring Judge. So while Judge’s Yankees contract has gotten over, the Giants are making their best efforts to sign him up. And with the new season coming in, the Giants fans are more than excited to see Judge on their potential roster.
fans’ reaction to Aaron Judge’s mention in the San Francisco Giants’ potential roster
Aaron Judge had famously rejected a Yankees’ $213.5 million worth seven-year term contract extension offer earlier this season. The Yankees have yet again made an effort to re-sign their talismanic player. So, for that matter, the Yankees have now offered a $300 million worth eight-year term contract to him. Meanwhile, Judge also met up with the Giants last month for contract-related discussions.
The MLB Network recently made a post on their official Twitter account, quoting, “All Rise for potentially some serious power in the Bay.”

Judge says he’s going somewhere that’s ready to win…this lineup is anything but a winning lineup

I love seeing people make the argument that the Yankees and Giants rosters aren’t close to each other. Yes, the Yankees perennially make the dance known as the postseason. No, they’re not close to the Astros. Yes, they have an aging roster. Yes, they have multiple bad contracts.

Not buying it. Yankees will match whatever anyone else offers plus make Judge the captain. I doubt he turns down a similar offer, Yankees captain, and leave his bff Stanton.

Therefore, as is evident, MLB fans have got mixed reactions to the fancy Giants-Judge alliance.
However, which way Judge swings his bat will depend upon his final decision.

If not for the Yankees, then which team?
As earlier mentioned, Judge reportedly had a meeting with the Giants earlier. But it is not official from either side. However, several reports suggest that the NL side is confident about signing the reigning AL MVP. And given Judge also comes from the Bay Area, it does give the Giants an edge to make a statement signing.
