Baseball’s superstar slugger Aaron Judge was in attendance at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ NFL game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, as rumors continue to swirl about his future.
The American League MVP enjoyed a record-breaking season for the New York Yankees, hitting 62 regular-season home runs, but it is as yet unclear where he will play next season.
He has entered free agency, with the Yankees and San Francisco Giants the supposed front-runners for his signature, and it has been reported that he has a $300million, eight-year deal on the table from the Bronx Bombers.

Speculation ramped up again on Monday night, though, when Judge and his wife Samantha walked out at the Raymond James Stadium to watch the Buccaneers take on the Saints.
The 30-year-old was wearing a Mike Evans No 13 jersey for his visit to the stadium, but it is as yet unclear the exact reason for his journey to the south of the country.
In recent weeks, Judge had been pictured on the west coast – raising the possibility of talks with the Giants in San Francisco – but it is unlikely he will join a team in or around Florida.
The Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays would be an internet-breaking decision from Judge, who has regularly reiterated his desire to play for a winning team.

In fact, the news of Judge’s trip to Florida will perhaps come as something of a boost to Yankees fans, who now know their 2022 star man is not still on the west coast.
It could be that Judge is slowly making his way back towards the Big Apple, but there is as yet no news about when he will make his decision for the 2023 season.
On Monday, the Yankees tied down general manager Brian Cashman to a new contract, keeping the same back office in place as they continue to negotiate with Judge over his potential stay.
