No Decision Yet On Aaron Judge

By Anthony Franco | December 6, 2022 at 4:35pm CDT

4:35pm: Giants CEO Larry Baer says there’s currently “nothing to report” on the Judge situation (via Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post).

4:28pm: Heyman now says the Giants haven’t heard a decision on Judge (on Twitter). Andy Martino of SNY tweeted that as of 4:22pm CST, the Yankees were not informed they were out of the running.

4:26pm: Defending AL MVP Aaron Judge “appears headed” to the Giants, tweets Jon Heyman of the New York Post. San Francisco has reportedly offered Judge a deal in the $360MM range. To this point, however, it appears at least the Yankees still remain in the mix.

      I actually, I just hear more Heyman 50/50 prognosticating and hoping his 50% guess is correct. He’s just the first one to tweet his guess. Ironically, no person internally connected with these teams is tweeting this. It does make one wonder….

      “Appears headed?”

          Clip, no way the Yankees would remove the Judge’s chambers in advance. Even if the official announcement came that he was leaving, the Yankees wouldn’t tear down that section down in seconds, if for no other reason than they’d have to pay the union workers time and a half!

        Heyman is a joke, but he didn’t make this up. One of his sources told him this. The buzz seems to be that he’s going to the Giants. Let’s see if that turns out to be true. My guess is we’ll know no later than tomorrow.

        Bottom line is the bottom line. If the Yankees match the Giants offer and he leaves, then quite simply he didn’t want to be a Yankee.

        • RobM

          2 months ago

          If I understood what Heyman was saying on MLBN, then Carlos Baerga was his source. Now, before laughing, Baerga has been a good source previously, including where Justin Verlander was going. I wasn’t 100% sure if that was his only source. His answer was a bit awkwardly phrased, perhaps intentional, perhaps not. I suspect he still believes Judge is going to the Giants, yet if that was the case, why wouldn’t it just be announced? It’s possible Judge has told them he’s going to the Giants if they can hammer out a few finer points, which they’ll do in person tomorrow. If there is no final agreement, the Giants are probably the ones slighly upset that this leaked as it opens up a huge door for the Yankees can drive through at the last moment. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised by any outcome. I do believe we’ll know tomorrow.

          I will add that all these leaks are coming from Judge’s camp, so I don’t want to hear any fake annoyance about the Yankees directly saying what their offer was months back.

        Al: That’s interesting for sure. I do wonder if that has to do with the offers. Yanks bumped their offer up to $340MM and about 20 minutes prior to the time stamp in that post, Giants countered with $360MM, allegedly. To my understanding the negotiations are still underway (at least as of that time stamp) with the Yankees having the chance to counter. I wonder if they got that from the Giants topping the Yankees initial counter offer?

        Al, I did a bit more research and it seems this may have stemmed from a Susan Slusser post (very reputable reporter) that reads that the talk in the hotel lobby of the WMs was that Judge was headed to the Giants – all around the time of Heyman’s post.

        Now, the problem is: did that talk lead to Heyman’s errant post? Or did Heyman’s post lead to that talk? Lol, that’ll be like a dog chasing its tail.

          rememberthecoop — Not likely Judge will hit 60 HRs anywhere, but Oracle isn’t going to hurt him at all. If you look at how Oracle now plays (neutral) since they moved the fences as well as Judge’s spray chart, he’ll be a monster there, no problem

        • LordD99

          2 months ago

          The Giants created a document as part of their pitch showing how his HR totals would have been impacted. He’d lost some HRs to right, but gained others to center and left center. He also gained some HRs in other NL west parks. They still had him hitting 60 HRs. No record, but in the NL, the record isn’t 61!

          Regardless, he had his career year. He’s not repeating it again, in a Yankee uni or a Giants uni.

        2 months ago

        Clipper — My first choice is for the Giants NOT to sign Judge, but rather spread the money around to Correa, Nimmo & Senga (Haniger, too), so it has a real impact on the entire roster.

        But I have to say that if the Giants do sign Judge I won’t be disappointed. I just wish Heyman would double check his sources before he starts spit-balling rumors.

          Pete, I hear you brother. It’s very logical to spread that money around and build more of the team. But, I have to say Judge is a true professional, man. He’s great to watch, humble, and fan-friendly. He’s pretty much everything you can want in a player. You guys would be very, very happy with him.

          If you go on Fangraphs they have spreads that will show you all of his HRs if they were hit in an overlay of Oracle Park. He’s only (-)2.

          @Pete’sView I’d rather have Judge, Nimmo, and Senga than Correa, Nimmo, and Senga.

          Since the difference will be 7m-10m a year, Just skipping Hanniger or trimming at the margins makes up the difference.

        • Pete'sView

          2 months ago

          Jack — Problem is, Crawford is done and Luciano will probably end up at 3B or OF. And I’m concerned that Judge (given his frame) will wear down at least half way through the contract. But if we get him, great.

      @Cookie Bitts Nah. Judge going to SF, a .500 team in 2022, gets them to 90 wins given their offseason moves to date—and they still have more payroll to spend than the Yankees after adding Judge.

      90 wins is better than NYY projects to after losing Judge. Are the Yankees even a .500 team at that point?

        No. Because Judge is a private man that obviously likes to keep his business in house. That needs to be respected.
        The only reason I can see for Cashman announcing those details was to remove fan heat from himself and place it on Judge.
        I tend to be an apologist for the FO’s, but that move defeats me.

          Because you know he is a free agent at years end and the Boss should be prepared to take some bullets in order to have him feeling as comfortable as possible.

    If this is the case, then the Yankees should be happy as hell as they will have dodged a tremendous bullet. If Judge signs for 9/$360, this contract, like Judge will not age very well. The Yankees can put $40M a year to far better use spreading it among two, three, four or more players.

    As for the Giants, they are going to have quite the buyer’s remorse in a few years, similar to the Angels and Albert Pujols & Anthony Rendon, the Tigers w/ Prince Fielder and Miggy, Yankees w/ Jacob Ellsbury, Nationals with Stehen Strasburg and the list goes on and on and on

    Lifelong Yankees fan that will personally be fine with him walking. He’ll never repeat this season (who could) and the contract would cripple us even more. Spread that money out to contact hitters. Plus, he could never follow Jeter as Captain, which I’m sure they’ve guaranteed. While Judge always says the right (Yankee) thing, I’ve never found it genuine. Plus, lifer or not, I truly believe as long as the team hold to their antiquated facial hair policy and emotionless responses, they’ll miss out on talent that might otherwise choose to don those pinstripes.

    Because he will be 31 when the season starts. The team that gives him the money will maybe get five years out of him. So if the Giants sign him they are in a rebuild phase.
    Look how the angels seasons have gone ever since signing Mike Trout. Haven’t even been in the postseason. A team that dumps a bunch of money into one player with the hopes of winning the World Series is a dream on paper. Or should I say. CHECK.

    IMO, just guesses, as a Yankee fan it’s starting to feel like Judge is leaving. Usually when a player goes back to the team they’ve been with it moves quicker and doesn’t drag through winter meetings like this so publicly. It would be a HUGE get for whatever team gets him, BUT.. if winning is truly his desire, like year in year out being on a team headed to the playoffs, it’s hard to see that being in San Francisco ( at least over next few seasons) the Padres and Dodgers are loaded and will not be going away soon.. I don’t think any single player or even 2-3 can make the Giants contenders. But we’ll see…

      Well, in the end, the players have to decide what is best for them. Look at Brady with the Pats. He literally could have made a boatload of cash and instead, stayed with the team because he valued winning over money. If Judge wants to sign for a lot of money and play elsewhere, good for him. Not all players care about winning it all. With that said, if he was actually serious about winning, he probably wouldn’t sign with the Yankees as management hasn’t really been focused on building around him all these years so why bother staying?
