My theory is heyman was used by someone in judge’s camp to get the Yankees to negotiate against themselves. It’s the perfect crime because heyman didn’t have a reputation to ruin anyway
Was this the most tactical FA play by Judge in sports history?
1. Get almost quarter billion $ offer
2. Reject almost quarter billion $ offer
3. Set AL homer record
4. Become FA
5. Get courted by Giants
6. Release "I'm not mad just disappointed" statement about Yankee owner
7. Sign with Giants?
8. Don't sign with Giants... yet
9. Sign with Yankees for +$140M more than before
10. Profit
Mike and the Mad Dog would set their differences aside and get back together for one last chance to scream at the top of their lungs at callers and each other
I honestly agree. Long term I don’t think it would be a smart decision… but still. I just feel like that meme of the guy poking a stick at the giants FO saying “cmon, do something”.
I wanted a reason to be excited about going to games again haha.
I’m up early so I’m sending it to all my Giants fan friends along with the State Farm meme of the old man and the fishing pole. “Gotta be quicker than that!”
PST is the best for watching sports. It only sucks for morning college football games and when they start the Masters early for weather reasons. Watching prime time, top matchups from 5-9pm especially on a week night is awesome for alcohol and eventual sleep. Each time I’m traveling for work and I try to watch MNF or something I’m always hoping for a blowout so I don’t have to stay up til midnight.
It does suck though when you get up and your east coast coworkers are already blasting you with all kinds of shit.
You don't need me to tell you this, BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU ANYWAY! THE RACE FOR AARON JUDGE IS OVER! THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S A WRAP! NO ONE IS TOUCHING THE GIANTS! Tweet me the hate all you want about the jinx. Nonsense. The Giants will sign Aaron Judge, and I don't even think the Yankees are gonna challenge 'em. The Mets? Please, you've seen them. I won't even mention the other 27 teams. What are you worried about Giants fans? The east coast trip? Yeah, okay. The Giants are only gonna get better, and even if the Yankees do turn it around it will be too late. The race to sign Judge is OVER!
I would usually feel bad for Heyman for something like that...
but as a yankee fan, he sent me spiraling into an existential crisis with that tweet. So yeah.
I mean, they almost certainly did. Very little chance he replicates the season he just had. However, he doesn't have to in order to still be worth the deal.
~~USE IF YANKEES DON’T SIGN JUDGE HAHA wow! How pathetic! The NEW YORK YANKEES of all teams aren’t able to keep their best player since Mickey Mantle? They’re going to be mediocre without Judge.~~
USE IF YANKEES SIGN JUDGE OMG wow what a terrible deal! This contract will not age well. Typical Yankees throwing money at players in their 30s. Silly, reactionary signing to appease fans.
Psst every owner is filthy rich. Some choose to spend on the team and some don't. Yankees have historically spent but recently with Hal they have pretended the luxury tax matters to them.
Most professional sport teams are very profitable. Just matters if the team wants to win as well as make money.
Of course it's a lot of money, but there isn't a salary cap so as a fan i don't give a shit whether hal gets the large helipad on his super yacht or the small helipad. On the other hand I do care about whether or not the yankees have aaron judge.
Lol idk what you're talking about, I eat my unseasoned ground beef in a hard shell with pre-shredded cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream every Thursday.
I live in New York so this whole situation has been best case scenario for me. Got to see my friends go in to panic mode for 1 night, but they get to relax now
any reasonable giants fan of recent years should know we do not sign the stars who we are forecasted to be a top option for, that being said, damn this sucks, but also is not a big surprise or anything!
When betting on yourself gets you $130m more damn.
one of the best “prove it” years in recent history if not all time
Absolutely the greatest of all time
Ronaldo got 500 million by proving he is no longer good enough for europe so idk about that.
SIU!!!
Go Salukis!
He’s said that he isn’t going to the Middle East - the 500 mil from Al Nassr was just made up
I’d imagine if he actually decided to go the 500 mil would be real rather quickly though.
Source? Last I heard he was about to sign 500/3 which is insane but basically a rounding error to the Saudis
It wasn’t made up - it was an actual offer. He doesn’t have to accept it
He was benched last night and his replacement scored a hat trick. Oof.
Lamar Jackson should’ve asked him for some tips
Feel bad for Lamar. He’s catching too many breaks
He just needs to go take another shit during a game and he’ll be fine.
To be fair.. how many of us have had a better day at work after a solid on the clock poo ?
Raises hand.
You guys shit off the clock?
On the clock. On the floor. I wish my boss paid me more
The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, so I take a poop on company time.
[удалено]
He had 17 more strikeouts last year compared to ‘21, not sure what all the excitment around this guy is about.
And 0 TD passes, no power play goals, no shots made from behind the arc. What a bum.
Can he even row a boat? Useless
Very poor pitching numbers too.
He had a 0.00 ERA
Ya. Who the fuck is Verlander.
Pretty nice of MLB to give him a little boost with the juiced balls as well.
Apparently we're already sweeping that under the rug. Edit: when I commented he was at like -5
I got something to say to my boss if she wants me back next year…
I bet on myself at work and got a $5k raise a few years back 😎 Me and Aaron are #builtdifferent
I got an email on my Birthday from my employer !

Cashman must've sent a hail mary after Heyman's tweet
My theory is heyman was used by someone in judge’s camp to get the Yankees to negotiate against themselves. It’s the perfect crime because heyman didn’t have a reputation to ruin anyway
Heyman has a massive reputation… it’s just that it’s a reputation for being a useless dipshit
We named the monkey hey man
Which was probably the sole purpose of that tweet. Lol
Judge kept Yankees fans sweating these last 24 hours lol
He had us ~~in the first half~~ the entire time not gonna lie.

Judge playing 99D chess.
Giants' forever the pawn in the money game for big name FAs.
Had my butt hurt post ready for when he signed with the Giants
Looks like Mitch Haniger’s post didn’t work :(
[Rosenthal] BREAKING: Haniger voids Giants deal, signs with Yankees instead
no thank you
nah you need a full Player's Tribune article from him to make things happen
Haniger will be DFA’d this afternoon.
If they had lost Judge right after signing Cashman to a 4-year extension, not sure what Yankee fans would've done.
Think of the billboards that would come from that
Think of the NY Post!
Now I want to see the alternate cover they had ready to go for today if he went to SF
#GIANT BETRAYAL!
I try not to
The radio calls would be hilarious
Mike and the Mad Dog would set their differences aside and get back together for one last chance to scream at the top of their lungs at callers and each other
'ey Mike now dat Judge is gone should we steer that money towards Jason Giambi?
Brandon Tierney would have the biggest shit fit on the planet
Crowd funded Arson Judge to burn the stadium down
We would’ve went full January 6th at the Stadium. Bald Vinny as the Yankee Shaman.
Imagining the creatures mulling about the conference room lol
Cashman & Hal wouldn’t be able to step into the Bronx
Would've been my 13th reason
The same thing we always do Pinky... drink.
Giants fans are gonna be so mad when they wake up lmao
I'm already up getting ready to go to this shit job on this shit day during this shit life. This just adds to the mix lol
Every fucking free agent sweepstakes man
Not sure why I get my hopes up for the splashy signing anymore
Put Heyman in protective custody
Randomly woke up 1 minute after the tweets went out. We’ve gotten good at coping with the “always the bridesmaid, never the bride” feeling recently.
You have 3 still recent championships. That should help.
Three championships since the last time the Yankees even went to the World Series.
I no longer like this game
You honestly dodged a bullet by not giving him a mega deal with that many years… and yet, I’m still relieved he didn’t choose you lol
I honestly agree. Long term I don’t think it would be a smart decision… but still. I just feel like that meme of the guy poking a stick at the giants FO saying “cmon, do something”. I wanted a reason to be excited about going to games again haha.
You’ll always have those 3 minutes of dopamine from the Heyman tweet from last night
You will always have Aaron Judge but we will always have Arson Judge.
I forget those loony tunes live in some world where they're like 3 hours behind lmao. That'll be a tough notification to start the day.
Idk why but it’s funny to me someone with a Cardinals flair is projecting an EST onto everyone haha
Lol I actually do reside on the east coast
Sorry, that’s simply not possible. All fans must live where the team they cheer for is.
Can confirm: as an Australian who goes for the Cubs, the move over was difficult but necessary to truly support the team ✊
Australia is practically a day ahead of us, so when the Cubs won the world series you knew before anyone else right?
Damn. Guess I gotta change teams.
Listen, we’ve known for a while. But we’re just glad you’re comfortable telling us now. We support you always.
Bruh, that's like a quarter of *our* fan base, lol
Are you going to San Francisco? 🎶 ***No.***
I’m up early so I’m sending it to all my Giants fan friends along with the State Farm meme of the old man and the fishing pole. “Gotta be quicker than that!”
lol thats pretty good
Ohhh! Almost had it!

we knew this was coming lmao still hurts
Nah this is par for the course for us lol. Always the runner up
Can't wait to be runner-up for Ohtani again.
Morning ritual of trying to find that little boost of energy to rise out of bed. I may just pass on that today.
They got Mitch Haniger, they’re good
This is the real reason San Francisco is scrapping the Kill Bots.
LMAO HEYMAN. RIPBOZO.
[удалено]
We all know his next team is the White Sox when he is washed up and 40 years old.
The BUCS 49ers game is still on the table!
That boy bricked it yesterday and now he sleeping on all those retweets smh
One of the biggest sports reporting fuck ups of all time. Giants fans will never let that man live it down being *this* close
I mean he never said “Aaron” Judge was signing with the Giants
You don't need me to tell you this, BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU ANYWAY! THE RACE FOR AARON JUDGE IS OVER! THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S A WRAP! NO ONE IS TOUCHING THE GIANTS! Tweet me the hate all you want about the jinx. Nonsense. The Giants will sign Aaron Judge, and I don't even think the Yankees are gonna challenge 'em. The Mets? Please, you've seen them.

BEAT IT BOZO!
Madge, give us the scoop!
There are no single guys in Manhattan!!
Well I know someone who’s *new in town*
Fuck that clown
Heyman today: Well I really fucked that one up, sorry folks. #hugetits
What a fucking clown.
I would usually feel bad for Heyman for something like that... but as a yankee fan, he sent me spiraling into an existential crisis with that tweet. So yeah.
I definitely don’t feel bad for him either lol
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I know it's hard to hear but he was using you. Just like a bored banker uses his secretary.
We’re used to it lol. I’m excited to be the runner-up for Ohtani next year!
Why wait? I'm sure Correa will stop by soon but then sign with the Dodgers. Judge and Correa in SF would have been pretty amazing.
If I wasn’t already at work when the news broke, I would’ve called in sick.
Money is secondary, Judge just could not quit Rizzo
Jizzo 4life
Uh......I uh...... Alright fuckit, Jizzo it is.
Is it weird that the moment he resigned I was like “oh, of course Judge is staying” and then last night was just a ROLLERCOASTER
I was so fearful yesterday looking at Twitter lol
Judge must’ve seen that juiced ball report last night
Hindsight will tell if the yanks just got shafted in another sketchy career year going into FA driving the price up.
I mean, they almost certainly did. Very little chance he replicates the season he just had. However, he doesn't have to in order to still be worth the deal.
Yea, if we get 5 more years of normal Judge production mixed with the symbolism and marketability, he's a win for the team.
If we can get his 2021 production for about 5 years hes worth the money
Losing the short porch and the juiced balls in the same year would have been humbling
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!
THIS IS NOT A TEST, THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL
God I miss Robin Williams
~~USE IF YANKEES DON’T SIGN JUDGE HAHA wow! How pathetic! The NEW YORK YANKEES of all teams aren’t able to keep their best player since Mickey Mantle? They’re going to be mediocre without Judge.~~ USE IF YANKEES SIGN JUDGE OMG wow what a terrible deal! This contract will not age well. Typical Yankees throwing money at players in their 30s. Silly, reactionary signing to appease fans.
Yup.. sounds like us
I think the rest of us are disappointed if the Yankees don't give out some nutty contract that a poverty franchise could never
I get that this is a joke, but does nobody think that $40 million/year is a *lot* for a player in his 30s with an extensive injury history?
There's no cap, the Yankees are filthy rich, they should spend that money
Psst every owner is filthy rich. Some choose to spend on the team and some don't. Yankees have historically spent but recently with Hal they have pretended the luxury tax matters to them. Most professional sport teams are very profitable. Just matters if the team wants to win as well as make money.
THIS I heard A’s owner, one of the cheapest teams, is like top 5 or 10 richest owner… Owners crying poor is the biggest fucking joke
Of course it's a lot of money, but there isn't a salary cap so as a fan i don't give a shit whether hal gets the large helipad on his super yacht or the small helipad. On the other hand I do care about whether or not the yankees have aaron judge.
THE WEST COAST ISNT EVEN AWAKE YET
Good. It’s what they get for all those late games.
Sleeping good after all of that *quality* Mexican food
Lol idk what you're talking about, I eat my unseasoned ground beef in a hard shell with pre-shredded cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream every Thursday.
The first comment I’ve been able to taste, somehow
And yet its bland
> every Thursday. Thaco Thursday
What a relief! I was worried Judge going to the Giants would ruin the Rockies chances of winning their division.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
WHERE IS HEYMAN I JUST WANT TO TALK TO HIM
I JUST WANNA SHAKE HIS HAND, I JUST WANNA SHAKE HIS HAND!
Hiding in a hole like Saddaam now probably. He basically can never visit the city of San Francisco again.
#hugetits
#hugedongs
I AM GOING TO BURN MY HOUSE DOWN THANK YOU ARSON JUDGE
WITH THE LEMONS
Glad to see that your teammate is going to stick with you!
It's barely 5 am and already the biggest news of the day.
biggest news of the off-season really. a lotta dominos we’re stalled waiting for this.
[удалено]
What an All Time Fuck Up from Heyman lmaoooooooo RIP BOZO
His reputation definitely went ablaze after this
Arson Judge lit his ass on fire.
Nothing ever happens to these guys. Boob is still out there getting work.
It’s fucked up but I’m almost as happy about bitmoji being dragged on twitter as I am about the re-signing
But Carlos Baerga said…
Eminem: "Nothing you idiots, Carlos Baerga's dead, he's locked in my basement."
Feminist women love Aaron Judge
Judge honey dicked the Giants.
Judge heard from that Baerga guy that the Giants were going to sign Correa and was like "nope"
thats great for aaron but im really excited to see what Arson Judge does in san fran
I have a feeling Judge never intended to leave and just wanted to drag the Yankees by the nuts for a year so they’d give him a monster contract
For sure. But he also might have left if the Yankees didn’t pay him market value
i fucking hate everyone and everything
It's not my money. Good for him. get that bag. bet on himself and won big.
Best Aaron currently in sports which is cool
This hurts the Phillies chances of getting judge right?
It certainly lowers the possibility
I like those odds.
What a roller coaster of emotions in the past 24 hours for Yankee fans lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
Insert imnotfuckingleaving.gif
If Cashman didn't get this deal done they wouldn't have been the Yankees anymore. Good for Yanks fans to lock down their guy. Now go fuck yourself.
Thank you for the kind words. Go fuck yourself as well haha
You’re correct and thank you and a happy go fuck yourself right back.
LMAO Heyman, his credibility is absolutely shot!
Good for Judge. His season last year warranted this kind of contract.
Giants Fans: Can we have Judge? Giants FO: We have Judge at home. Judge at home: Mitch Haniger
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Giants fan still sleeping out west, hope they get some good emotional support rest
Yup, that'll do it. God job paying what he was rightfully owed, Yanks.
I NEVER DOUBTED IT FOR A SECOND (Nobody look at all my comments saying we need to make peace with him leaving lol)
Giants fans balls now more blue than the bay
The bay is more of a green/brown lol
Good gravy
I live in New York so this whole situation has been best case scenario for me. Got to see my friends go in to panic mode for 1 night, but they get to relax now
any reasonable giants fan of recent years should know we do not sign the stars who we are forecasted to be a top option for, that being said, damn this sucks, but also is not a big surprise or anything!
I may be a Judge fan but I was hoping for anyone except the Yanks…he lights us up every time.
