With the offseason fast approaching, it’s time we take a look at some potential fits for top free agents.
Aaron Judge is the biggest prize waiting out on the market.
After a historic season in what could have been his final season in a New York Yankees uniform, the rumors are beginning to swirl.
Judge will be pursued by several teams, with the Yankees being included in that bunch.
But according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the slugger and American League MVP candidate is expected to be pursued by none other than the Los Angeles Dodgers, who managed to sign Freddie Freeman this past offseason.

Dodgers In On Judge
Of course, it’s to be expected that the Dodgers will pursue a big-name free agent when he becomes available.
It’s one of the last things fans of opposing teams want to hear.
But it wouldn’t seem right if the Dodgers weren’t in on a guy like Judge.
That was the case with Freeman last offseason.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise to see the Dodgers listed as potential suitors for Judge.
Like the Yankees, the Dodgers will likely come out in full force to try and bring Judge in.
Los Angeles certainly has the financial flexibility to pull it off.
An outfield that consists of both Judge and Mookie Betts on the corners would seemingly be unstoppable.
It would make the Dodgers instant favorites to win another World Series title.
They’ll have stiff competition for Judge, as the Yankees will do everything in their power to try and keep their slugger, but it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to see him land in L.A.
