Aaron Judge has dominated news headlines since he began his MLB journey. This year, he has constantly remained in the spotlight, for various reasons. He broke records amid a home run frenzy and registered his name among the baseball elite this season. In fact, Judge was at the center of attention for the entire period until the New York Yankees were in World Series contention. 

The Yankees got eliminated in the American League championship and the World Series found its winner as well. Despite the end of seasonal action, Judge has continued as a headlining act. So, this time around, the reason isn’t his performances, but rather another factor that has persistently remained in speculation. 

As per common knowledge, Judge’s Yankees term contract has expired. So few teams have begun vying for the marquee player. The San Francisco Giants are of the top names constantly circulating among all the other teams. So a famous MLB insider recently discussed all the possibilities.

Speaking in the interview, Shea said, “And all the buzz in Linden, which is Aaron Judge’s hometown,  he grew up a Giants’ fan, is he’s coming home. So whether the Giants hand him up, it’s another thing. Because he’s got a worth $300 million. Right? He turned down more than 200, $213.5 over seven.

Shea added, saying, “There is all kinds of bidding between the Giants and Yankees. And last time these two teams were headed for a high-profile guy was CC Sabathia. And what did Brian Cashman do? He flew into the Bay Area, drove over to Vallejo, and said, ‘we’ll give you an extra year.’ So he went to the Yankees. You see, Yankees can outspend anybody, but the Giants are going to be all in on this man.”
