With it, another thing related to the slugger in headlines is his impending free agency post this season. Before the All-Star game, the New York Yankees offered Judge a contract of $213.5 for seven years of extension. Which, Judge denied. Clearly, Judge knows that he is worth more than the New York Yankees offered him. And he is showing that on the field.

What did Kurkjian say about Aaron Judge?

As soon as Judge enters free agency this season, there is no doubt that teams will be on their way to try and poach him into their team. But the ESPN analyst thinks there is one team that will suit Aaron Judge and should get him in their dugout before anyone else does.

“They’re (the San Francisco Giants) gonna have to go out and make a massive move in free agency,” Tim said.

Furthermore, he added that this is just something that should happen, but he is not sure if it will or not. “I’m not suggesting for a second it’s going to happen, but Aaron Judge is exactly what they need as a free agent. They’re gonna have to pay him over $300 million to get him. But he’s having an MVP season for the Yankees,” he added.

Before this year’s season started, Judge made a prediction for himself of hitting 50 home runs for the second time this year.

He fulfilled his prediction before August even ended.
