MLB Twitter on San Francisco Giants players recruiting Aaron Judge: "This is gonna be embarrassing if he signs somewhere else"

Everybody wants a piece of Aaron Judge — and it's meant in the best possible sense of the word. Ahead of the meeting between Judge and his favorite team growing up, the San Francisco Giants, players of the squad tried enticing the AL MVP to move home to California.

Giants All-Star outfielder Joc Pederson initiated the recruitment charge by posting a photo of Judge in a Giants uniform on Instagram.

Veteran Brandon Crawford and pitcher Logan Webb followed suit and re-posted Judge's modified photos.

The recruitment moves made by the San Francisco Giants players spawned different reactions from MLB fans on Twitter. While some found it funny, Giants fans kept faith that they could haul the biggest fish in The Bay.

"This is gonna be embarrassing if he signs somewhere else," one fan said.

"Judge is gonna be a giant by January 17th," said another.

Other fans even suggested that the San Francisco Giants are tampering. However, from a league perspective, it is surely just some playful banter between the players.
