Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who hit an A-League record 62 home runs this season, will be a free agent this offseason. Greg Joyce of the New York Post, a local media outlet, pointed out the possibility of a dream come true for Judge, saying, “A pot of gold is coming to Judge in the off-season.

He refused to sign a seven-year, $213.5 million ($31.059 billion) contract extension.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman described Judge’s refusal to sign a seven-year, $213.5 million ($31.059 billion) contract extension on Opening Day as “the best bet ever. Judge’s performance this season has been historic. He hit a lot of home runs and led the team to a district championship, one step away from the Triple Crown.

GM Cashman is aware that Judge’s value has skyrocketed,” the media outlet said. There’s a pot of gold,” he said. We don’t know yet how much it will weigh, but it will be good for him. It was already big, but of course it will be an even bigger contract,” he said.

He added, “I’d like to win, but that’s something we’ll discuss at a later date. Of course, I want Judge to come back to the Yankees,” he said. He’s a great player and he’s betting on himself. He’s a great player and he bet on himself, and his performance this season was the best bet ever,” he said.

The Giants were mentioned as a possible team to join the Judge competition. Judge grew up in Linden, California, not far from San Francisco, and was a Giants fan. Giants General Manager Farhan Zaidi said of the acquisition of a big-name FA player, “The offseason will be very active. We have the flexibility to be involved in all options. Our goal is to have a team that feels like a playoff contender at spring training and at the start of the 2023 season. Everything this offseason will be driven by this guideline.”

The national newspaper USA Today reported, “The Giants may seek to acquire not only Judge in FA, but also All-Star ranger Trai Turner, who is with the Dodgers. If the Yankees do not pay Judge the $300 million he is demanding, he might move to San Francisco, just two hours from his hometown,” raising the possibility of a move.
