The Giants are looking to acquire outfielder Aaron Judge, who hit 62 homers this season, a new American League record, according to USA Today and other newspapers.
The Giants won 107 games last season, but “plummeted” to 81-81 this season.
At the GM meeting, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada until November 10, Giants general manager Farhan Zaidi publicly stated that the Giants will do their best in the FA market. He is “serious” because the Giants, who won 107 games last season, have plummeted to a mediocre 81-81 record this season. They are also interested in Carlos Correa and other starters, and are considering bringing back Carlos Rodon, a left fielder who opted out of his contract, or acquiring Jacob deGrom and others to acquire starting pitchers.
Organizing director Zaidi said, “From a financial standpoint, there is no (FA) player that we would not be able to meet our contract demands. So the only question now is whether our interests are mutual and how we can build the best team we can.”
Judge’s hometown is Linden, California, about two hours from Oracle Park. The Giants plan to use this to entertain Judge, who may be the team’s biggest draw since Barry Bonds. They will show the research that the ballpark that once terrified Bryce Harper and Giancarlo Stanton and kept them away from the Giants is now neutral for hitters. And they will emphasize that they absolutely want to win and promise to build a team around Judge,” the paper analyzed.
Scott Boras, who represents the Giants, said, “They [the Giants] are going to be very aggressive [in the FA market]. The Giants have not had a player hit more than 30 homers since Barry Bonds. For that reason, “Judge will bring immediate star power to the Giants, be the face of their home turf, and could even make the Giants a strong team again.
Organizing Director Zaidi said, “I want to be in the playoffs every year,” and “I will be disappointed if the roster isn’t vastly improved on opening day. Acquiring top free agents is a really attractive way to do that.” He has ample funds, a strong and passionate desire, and a great history of winning the World Series three times between 2010 and 2014. Will Judge, who was a fan of Rich Aurilia as a child, ever join the Giants?
