The Dodgers ‘could become serious players’ in a move for Yankees star Aaron Judge

The Dodgers have reportedly emerged as one of the top contenders to sign Aaron Judge after his historic season with the New York Yankees.

Judge hit an American League-record 62 home runs this season, but his and the Yankees campaign ended on Sunday-evening with a 4-0 series loss to the Houston Astros, who have advanced to the World Series.

Judge is now out and according to a report in Sports Illustrated, the Dodgers could make a move for the 30-year-old.

Should he eventually move from the east coast to the west, the publication says it could lead to a shuffle in the way the Dodgers use Mookie Betts.

Betts could move from right field to second base to house Judge, while MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand suggests three players could leave the Dodgers to earn about $100 million in space for the Dodgers to give Judge a big paycheck. offer.

Trea Turner, Craig Kimbrel and Joey Gallo are reportedly the trio that could be on the way.

Judge, for his part, is unsurprisingly reticent about his future.

The 30-year-old judge has claimed he ‘hasn’t even thought’ about his future

‘It all goes through my agent. I haven’t even thought about the next step,” he told reporters after the Yankees season ended. “But like I said, we have time to find out.”

Judge has gently hinted that he would like to stay with the Yankees, adding, “I’ve been clear about that since I first wore the pinstripes.

“But we couldn’t get anything done for spring training. I am a free agent. We’ll see what happens.’
