The Aaron Judge saga will take over the MLB offseason.
The New York Yankees made the costly mistake of not signing Judge before this season.
The 30-year-old went out and had one of the best seasons in baseball history.
Judge hit an American League record 62 home runs while driving in 131 runs.
He also had an incredible OPS of 1.111.
Judge was the Yankees this season.
He carried that team the entire regular season, and it would be a colossal mistake if they do not re-sign him.
With all of that being said, teams around the league are gearing up to make a run at the soon-to-be AL MVP.

If Judge does leave the Yankees, his signing to a new team would be the biggest since Bryce Harper and Manny Machado before the 2019 season.
MVP-caliber players are just so rarely available on the open market, which is what makes the Judge watch so interesting.
Judge’s Next Team
Atop the odds listed are the San Francisco Giants.
This makes total sense as they are a team that seems to always be in contention.
After a down season, the Giants will be looking to reload and match the firepower of the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
Adding Judge and some other key pieces could give the Giants enough to consistently compete in the NL West.
Only teams that are willing to spend top dollar will be interested in Judge.
That is why we see the Mets and Dodgers as the second and third-highest odds to land the superstar.
Overall, it seems likely that the Yankees will get something done with their cornerstone player.
If not, plenty of other teams will be willing to pounce on the AL home-run king.
