baseball world, chasing Roger Maris\u2019 American League home run record.<\/p>\n<p>If anything could compete with that, we\u2019re about to see it at the winter meetings, which began Sunday night, with Judge\u2019s free agency setting the tone for the rest of the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>When Judge won his first AL MVP award last month, attention had already shifted to his free-agency plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting the free-agent process moving,\u2019\u2019 Judge said at the time. \u201cA lot of stuff doesn\u2019t kick in until the winter meetings in December.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meetings got underway Sunday at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, with the focus on Judge, whose free agency was already the biggest story in the baseball world even before Jacob deGrom opted to bolt the Mets in favor of the Rangers and the five-year, $185 million contract they gave him.<\/p>\n<p>The timing and amount of the deGrom signing caught some by surprise, but the destination \u2014 and the fact he was willing to leave the Mets \u2014 wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

Judge<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It would be seen as a much bigger shock if Judge ended up exiting The Bronx, even for the Giants not far from his hometown of Linden, Calif.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The consensus heading into these meetings was that the Yankees \u2014 who are \u201cbelieved to have $300 million-plus on the table\u201d to Judge, according to The Post\u2019s Jon Heyman, remain the favorites to retain him.<\/p>\n<p>But Judge has already met with the Giants and has sounded open to offers from other teams since turning down the Yankees\u2019 seven-year, $213.5 million deal on Opening Day.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking that gamble, Judge set the American League record with 62 homers and won the MVP award.<\/p>\n<p>Until Judge\u2019s destination is determined, much of the rest of the Yankees\u2019 offseason plans are on hold.<\/p>\n<p>They signed Anthony Rizzo to a new contract last month after the first baseman drew serious interest from other teams, but until the Yankees know Judge\u2019s future, they are unlikely to make too many other significant moves.<\/p>\n<p>Managing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> partner Hal Steinbrenner has been outspoken about wanting to keep Judge in The Bronx and there is belief the Yankees would go to nine years, but if the Giants went to 10 years, there is an expectation Judge would end up in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"

month in relation to its pursuit of Judge. \u201cI can tell you, that\u2019s not gonna stop us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steinbrenner added he told Judge he wanted to keep him.<\/p>\n<p>There remains confidence within the organization that the Yankees will keep Judge and that he doesn\u2019t want to leave, something Steinbrenner hinted at earlier in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do believe he wants to be a Yankee,\u2019\u2019 Steinbrenner said. \u201cI think we\u2019ve got a good thing going here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But there is the reality of the fact that as long as Judge is a free agent, he can end up spurning the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Judge stood inside the clubhouse at Yankee Stadium and referred to the Yankees in the past tense after their season-ending loss to the Astros in The Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting the chance to wear pins<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\"

said after the Yankees were swept out of the ALCS by the Astros. \u201cIt was a special time. I just kick myself for not bringing home that championship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we\u2019ll find out soon if Judge has another chance to do it with the Yankees.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
