SAN DIEGO \u2014 The San Francisco Giants’ confidence is growing in their hopes of signing American League MVP Aaron Judge, with team officials divulging Monday that they have become ultra-aggressive in their talks to land the New York Yankees star.<\/p>\n
There was a report by MLB.com that Judge was scheduled to be in San Diego at the winter meetings on Tuesday, but one person close to Judge said Monday night that no trip was planned. Judge was spotted at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football game Monday night against the New Orleans Saints in Tampa.<\/p>\n
The Yankees continue to have active talks with Judge, the prize of the free-agent market, but have no indication where Judge is leaning. They spoke with Judge’s representatives on Monday, and Yankees GM Brian Cashman said there are no scheduled face-to-face meetings with Judge.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cI can tell you I had a conversation with his agent [Page Odle],” Cashman said Monday evening, \u201cbut that didn’t come up. We’re still talking. It’s his dance card. He’s a free agent and he has a chance to make decisions for him and his family. I can tell you we are negotiating hard. …<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s earned the right to go through the process. Certainly, we’d love to land the plane favorably here in New York, but we’re not flying the plane. So we’ll wait for this process to play out.\u201d<\/p>\n
