Aaron Judge is having quite a season for himself this year. He has been probably the only positive for the New York Yankees this season. Having already hit 53 home runs from the plate, Judge is having his career-best season in Major League Baseball. However, it is also true that the Yankees slugger is in the last year of his professional contract with the Pinstripes. And having such a blasting season, when Judge will go into the free agency, he will have offers from several clubhouses.

It is not that the Yankees did not offer an extension to their marquee player. Earlier during the free agency, Aaron Judge politely declined a long-term contract worth $213.5 million. And, now when the rumors are rife about him joining the San Francisco Giants, a young fan made a special request to the Yankees star ahead of his free agency.
Will Aaron Judge sign for the Giants and change their fortune?
Not only the Yankees, but the SF Giants are also having a poor season this year. But there is still a big difference. Despite playing their worst games in the last 5-6 weeks, the Yankees are still at the top of the AL East. But the Giants might not even play the postseason games this year.
Taking to Twitter, Fox Sports shared an adorable photo. In the image, a young Giants fan is holding a placard and requesting Aaron Judge to come at the Giants. “Judge, we need you,” the placard said.
