The slugger hit a new American League record of 62 home runs last year before entering free agency, with a number of elite sides wanting his signature. Judge was recently pictured landing in San Francisco amid rumors of talks with the Giants, while another California team are linked to him in the Dodgers. The Yankees are prepared to offer above $300m to get Judge back to New York but a move to the west coast might appeal to the 30-year-old, who grew up near San Francisco. Aaron Judge's future is still unclear as he holds talks with teams about his next MLB move Judge hit a new American League record of 62 home runs for the Yankees last year Speaking to the New York Post, Cashman admitted the Yankees have no option but to play a dangerous game in waiting for Judge to let them know his decision. 'It only takes one team to take him from us,' Cashman said. 'It's a danger. We've done it many times and it's been done to us, too. We'll see. We are negotiating hard.' Cashman added that managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner is 'putting his money where his mouth is', it still doesn't guarantee Judge will commit his future to the Bronx. The Post added that Cashman had a conversation with Judge's agent, Page Odle, on Monday. 'You’ve seen in the last 48 hours, people start to make decisions,' Cashman said, referring to free agents such as Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander. 'It’s not like we missed time, in my opinion, but I understand the longer things go, the more at risk you are. 'It’s easier if we are driving it. We’re not driving it. He’s got a lot of leverage and he’s earned that right.' Yankees general manager Brian Cashman admitted there is a danger Judge goes elsewhere Judge went to watch his friend Tom Brady in action for the Bucs on Monday night Judge took some time out from considering his next move when, on Monday night, he watched his friend Tom Brady in action for the Bucs. Brady's team edged the New Orleans Saints 17-16. Earlier in the year, Judge appeared on Brady's Let's Go podcast shortly after eclipsing the AL record set by Rodger Maris. 'It's a shock,' Judge told Brady at what he achieved. 'Roger Maris, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, the list goes on and on. You see them round Yankee stadium with their World Series rings, those are Yankee legends and baseball greats. 'How could I ever be mentioned with those guys? I'm just starting my career, a couple years in - what are you guys talking about? It's always a humbling experience being in the same sentence, being mentioned as some of those greats. 'But like you say, it's tough to get used to. I wake up every day and try and help the Yankees win a ball game, I never see myself up there with Babe Ruth or Roger Maris but it's something I never take for granted'.
