Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge's time with the New York Yankees could be coming to an end. Jon Morosi reported that Judge is split between the Yankees and the San Francisco Giants. Morosi believes it's so close that it could come down to a coin flip for Judge.

The New York Yankees made Judge an eight-year, $300 million offer earlier this week. It's not yet clear if San Francisco has offered anything to Aaron Judge. They hosted him last week and were ecstatic with the results of the visit.

There's a real possibility that he will sign with either team. Both teams have great things to offer the superstar. It's ultimately going to come down to money and what environment Aaron Judge thinks is best for him during the back half of his career.

New York Yankees fans aren't happy to hear the Giants are right on par with them. They're starting to get nervous that he won't be back in pinstripes next season. They'd be devastated if he walked.

"See ya Judge. We only want people who want to be in the Bronx. Good luck in San Fran," one fan explained.
"Gonna throw up," said another fan.

Some fans believe that it's not a two-way race between the Giants and the Yankees. They think there's another team considering Judge, but hasn't made it's interest known.

Could we see the Los Angeles Dodgers make a push and enter as the third team in the hunt for Judge? It wouldn't surprise many around the league if they stepped up and offered Aaron Judge a serious contract.

The New York Yankees need Aaron Judge to remain contenders

Aaron Judge is the heart and soul of the Yankees. When fans think of the present-day Yankees, they think of him.

They can't replace him. No one in the league is currently hitting 60+ home runs during the regular season. He was often the only source of offense for the "Bronx Bombers" last season.

Losing him would be a killer blow for a New York team that desperately wants to battle for a World Series title.

With MLB Winter Meetings starting next week, keep your eyes and ears out for any free-agent news. The Judge market could close as early as next week.
