The Yankees have the money to re-sign him, he should be a Yankee for life. That being said, His contract demand is going to be absurd, and he will most likely never have a season this good ever again. It's a tricky situation.

Someone will pay him. Witness Manny Machado.

The Giants would be foolish to sign Judge, especially to a long term contract. Better to take that money and sign 2 maybe 3 free agents to build a team like the Astros have done.

You have to wonder a little, will he follow Maris into a steep decline? His size and injury tendencies certainly make it a possibility.

The Giants need a 1st baseman, SS, and pitching, even then they're a few years away. Signing Judge would be like signing Bonds, sells tickets but no dough leftover to build the rest of the team, there's a reason they never won the World Series with him.

Judge has had a couple of nice years but he isn't in the same league as Bonds as a player.

Machado has done pretty well for the Padres since they signed him. In 4 seasons (including the shortened COVID season), he's been good for 17.6 WAR, hit .280 and has 108 home runs and 340 RBIs.

He had a great year this year but previously was at best very good, not really what you would expect out of the (at the time anyhow) highest salary in baseball. In the long term perhaps he will be worth it though. But my point was at the time he was demanding an absurd salary given his resume, but teams are so eager for talent that someone was willing to accede to his demands.

Not sure I get the comparison. Machado signed his massive deal at 26 and has never missed much time due to injury (and he has produced up to what any reasonable person should have been expecting when he signed)
