I hate the source game, because I hate spreading rumors and I'm not a baseball insider either. Actually, now that I think about it, none of the baseball insiders are actually baseball insiders. They just guess. But here's the deal, I have created and have written thousands of articles here for Bleeding Yankee Blue since 2010 and I'm proud of that. Being in this chair with Suzie and Jeana, we have met numerous baseball people and I have been lucky enough to get some information over the years. It helps me make predictions and get information that many do not get. That's because I don't go bragging about what I know, I just share it when it seems pretty air-tight in the hopes that it helps people understand the true world of baseball and the business it is.
I have a source, a friend, that works for the San Francisco Giants. I will not reveal his name. I will only reveal what the buzz is and what he's hearing on the ground out there. He is not privy to private meetings. This is water cooler rumor, but still a pretty big one I want to share. The phrase he used with me is this:
"It's very real. Judge will be a San Francisco Giant next year."
I asked him why. He would not tell me. I asked him to give me more. He said he didn't have anything more. He told me to "trust him" and said it will come down to the contract, something Judge "could not walk away from."
I have to tell you, I believe him.
Again, I don't do this carelessly. This is fact. Kind of like when I told you all that Troy Tulowitzki might be a Yankee based on my source. Remember when I wrote SOURCE: "TULOWITZKI TO THE YANKEES..."
Back in 2014 I wrote:
"I don't have much, other than me getting information from someone I trust 100%. "Troy Tulowitzki to the Yankees might actually happen." was the text.I immediatlely texted back. "What????"
"WOW", came next...
Then, he continued:
"It's one expensive gamble. Top prospects and alot of salary."
“Yet, money may be no object, with the Giants willing to do anything for a return to the postseason, winning 26 fewer games than a year ago,” writes USA TODAY. “‘We do have the flexibility to be involved in every possible option on the table,’ Giants president Farhan Zaidi said.”
I think there is a chance he could leave the Yankees but I think he really wants to stay a Yankee. After all what better way to go into hall of fame than as a Yankee.
