Stephen Curry Is Aiding Giants In Signing Free Agent Aaron Judge
Stephen Curry, a well-known Boston Red Sox supporter, made a special cameo before the San Francisco Giants’ pitch to Aaron Judge.
The majority of Steph Curry’s appearance during the Giants pitch was innocent; Steph would warmly welcome another famous athlete to the Bay Area, especially one he could share the spotlight with as his career came to an end.
The Giants have a trick up their sleeves that they didn’t hesitate to utilize in the discussions, claims Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. They gave Aaron Judge access to meet with Stephen Curry, the All-Star for the Golden State Warriors. Imagine one of the greatest NBA players ever attempting to persuade Judge that Steph is already an avid Giants supporter.

Judge, a native of California, met this week with the Giants. Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area that the Warriors’ aircraft from New Orleans arrived too late for him to see the current AL MVP in person on Tuesday. However, they continued to text each other, so we will now have to wait and see whether San Francisco’s contract offer — probably the most important factor in the Giants’ pursuit — is enough to pry Judge away from the Bronx.
