New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) smiles after hitting a home run to left field off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jesus Tinoco (63) during the first inning of a game at Globe Life Field, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022 in Arlington, Texas. Judge broke the American League single season record with his 62nd home run.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Farhan Zaidi got a text message from Aaron Judge’s representatives early Wednesday morning. And just like that, it was over.

It was time to move on.

With Judge returning to the New York Yankees on a $360 million, nine-year contract, the San Francisco Giants are mulling over their next move after they missed the playoffs this year.
