Baseball superstar slugger Aaron Judge attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ NFL game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, as rumors continue to swirl about his future.
The American League MVP enjoyed a record-breaking season for the New York Yankees, hitting 62 regular-season home runs, but it is not yet clear where he will play next season.
He entered free agency, with the Yankees and San Francisco Giants the supposed front-runners for his signature, and reportedly had a $300million, eight-year deal on the table from the Bronx Bombers.

Speculation reignited Monday night, however, when Judge and his wife, Samantha, walked out of Raymond James Stadium to watch the Buccaneers take on the Saints.
The 30-year-old wore the Mike Evans No 13 jersey for his visit to the stadium, but the exact reason for his trip to the south of the country is not yet clear.
In recent weeks, Judge has been pictured on the west coast – raising the possibility of talks with the Giants in San Francisco – but he likely won’t join a team in or around Florida.
The Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays would be an internet-breaking decision from Judge, who has regularly reiterated his desire to play for a winning team.

In fact, the news of Judge’s trip to Florida will probably come as something of a boost to Yankees fans, who now know their 2022 star man isn’t even on the west coast.
Judge may be slowly making his way back to the Big Apple, but there’s no word yet on when he’ll make his decision for the 2023 season.
On Monday, the Yankees tied general manager Brian Cashman to a new contract, keeping the same back office in place while they continue to talk to Judge about his potential stay.
