Aaron Judge he have Yankee table display, which is “in the region of eight years, $300 million,” according to a report by ESPN’s Jeff Bassin (subscription required). However, the negotiations are just beginning.
Although Bassin notes that the Yankees could increase their bid “depending on how far the Giants go,” MLB.com’s John Paul Morosi does not rule out the possibility that San Francisco will eventually win the bid.
“The Giants are a real possibility,” Morosi said Thursday on MLB Network. “We’re not talking about a 70% chance for the Yankees and a 30% chance for the Giants. I think it’s more than 50/50. If the Giants get close to an average annual value of $40 million a year, there’s a legitimate chance of seeing a judge with the Giants.”
Of course, money isn’t the only thing on the mind of the judge, who has made it clear how important the win is to him. In order for the giants to get a judge, Morosi believes they need to build a plan around the warship. The Giants won 107 games in 2021, but fell to 81-81 last year and now have to fill several roster holes.
“I think Aaron Judge wouldn’t sign with the Giants unless there was a concrete plan of action of wanting to build a winning team around him and get to the post-season,” Morosi said. “I don’t think Aaron Judge gets all that anticipation and pressure to travel across the country to come up with a roster and say, ‘We’re going to finish . 500 behind the Dodgers and Padres. ‘”
They’ll have to – either Sign up for Kodai Senga Or an attacker – do something that might prove the faith of the judge. And that’s when I think [el presidente de operaciones de béisbol de los Gigantes] Farhan Zaidi has to come up with a concrete plan in the next week or 10 days that shows the judge that not only are they offering him a lot of money, but they can also win and qualify for the 2023 season.”
