With the New York Yankees no longer in contention for the World Series, the main storyline surrounding the franchise is the future of Aaron Judge. After failing to lock him down ahead of the season, an all-out bidding war figures to take place during the offseason. At the forefront of his market is believed to be the San Francisco Giants. After reports emerged suggesting the Giants would not be outbid in their pursuit of Judge, one SF staffer has shot down those claims.

Via Jon Heyman of the NY Post, someone within the Giants organization called the reports that the team would go all-out for Judge “ridiculous” and “crazy.”

Recent reports indicated the Giants would be willing to pay whatever it took to bring him to The Bay. The links made sense, given Judge grew up a fan of the Giants, but it seems that there was some significant hyperbole in regard to the extent to which the organization would be willing to go to acquire him.
