The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly made a contract offer to superstar free agent Aaron Judge. The deal was reportedly for $214 million, but the length of the contract was not made clear. Without the years mentioned, it seems like a lowball offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers are rumored to be the frontrunners to land Judge, but they are expected to face stiff competition from the New York Yankees, and San Francisco Giants.

The deal was rejected by Aaron Judge, who landed in San Francisco on Monday to meet with the Giants. The Giants are eager to land the reigning AL MVP as well.

As such, fans around the league were confused by the Dodgers' offer. They felt the offer was way too low, especially for an organization that isn't afraid to spend money to land big-name talent.

"Was it a four year deal? What the heck is that offer?" one fan asked.
"Yeah I don't buy this for one second," said another.

Some fans think the offer was fake. They can't believe that a team like the Los Angeles Dodgers would try and lowball a guy like Judge. Some fans even said they lost a bit of respect for their team.

Other fans questioned the length of the deal. Judge is apparently searching for an eight-year deal, so fans automatically assumed the Dodgers' offer was for eight years. However, some fans questioned if the offer was for four or five years instead of eight. If that's the case, the deal isn't too bad.

How would Aaron Judge fit in with the Los Angeles Dodgers?

The Los Angeles Dodgers non-tendered outfielder Cody Bellinger, making him a free agent. This, in turn, has increased their interest in signing Aaron Judge this off-season.

Los Angeles finished the 2022 regular season with the best record in the league. They had a disappointing postseason, getting knocked out in the NLDS. Adding Judge to the roster would make this team a more-rounded contender.

They're sure to lose All-Star shortstop Trea Turner in the off-season, but fans won't mind if they sign Aaron Judge instead.

Judge and Mookie Betts in the same outfield would be fascinating to watch.
