Reports: LA Dodgers Planning To Pursue Aaron Judge After Split With Cody Bellinger
The most recent team to be connected to free agent Aaron Judge is the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers have developed into a dominant force in MLB during the last ten years. The most recent aim for the organisation’s significant roster investments is the 2022 AL MVP.
For Aaron Judge, relocating to California might be the best option. In 2022, the star player for the New York Yankees is looking for a World Series-winning squad. The Dodgers are motivated, talented, and, most importantly, wealthy enough to entice players like Judge to play for them in Los Angeles.
Split With Cody Bellinger Becomes An Additional Reason Why Dodgers Will Pursue Aaron Judge
The addition of Aaron Judge to an already outstanding squad, in the opinion of MLB fans, maybe the final piece.

Aaron Judge might be the solution for a struggling club. The Dodgers have only achieved one championship since 1988. (2020). In the preceding six years, they made three World Series visits, but not much came of it.
Cody Bellinger was not extended by the Dodgers before the deadline on Friday night, three years after he slugged his way to the NL MVP. Since that 47-home run season, Bellinger’s career has struggled, and the World Series-or-bust Dodgers may now have their sights set on something larger. Bellinger is now 27 years old.
Word going around now is Dodgers will make a run at Aaron Judge. Logical with $100M now off the books with Bellinger, Kimbrel, Anderson, Heaney, Price and 2 Turners off the roster. Needs include SS, 3B, SPs, RP and now OF.

The Giants were seen to be the biggest threat to the Yankees keeping Judge, 30, once he became a free agent, leaving the Dodgers on the outside looking in. However, the Yankees are still seen to be the favourites to re-sign Judge, and general manager Brian Cashman revealed Thursday night that the team had made an offer to Judge’s camp.
The Dodgers making Judge an offer that is too good to refuse should worry the New York Yankees.
Sources: The #Dodgers have an in-person meeting with free agent Aaron Judge planned for this week. The #Dodgers plan on going all in for the free agent superstar, and have cleared significant salary from their payroll in order to pursue that goal.

The four-time All-Star is reportedly a target for the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, as well.
Whatever route Aaron Judge chooses, the 30-year-old will sign a sizable contract. He has all the cards now that a historic season is over. It appears that one of the greatest baseball players of our generation is already the subject of a bidding war.
