The San Francisco Giants are making their bid to acquire the reigning AL MVP.

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reported on Tuesday afternoon that the Giants offer for Aaron Judge is “believed to be (in the) $360 million” neighbourhood.

Heyman also added that there is a belief that the New York Yankees remain the favourites to land the 30-year-old, despite the large offer out of San Francisco.

Although it’s unclear how many years the Giants offered, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported on Saturday that Judge’s contract is likely to be for nine years.

Judge set the single-season American League home run with 62 in 2022. He also led the AL in runs (133), RBI (131), walks (111) and OPS (1.111) on his way to his first MVP award.
