Could Giants 2023 season-opener vs. Yankees be the Aaron Judge reunion game?

We know — Aaron Judge playing for any team other than the Yankees right now is just speculation. The slugger is still wearing pinstripes at least until the end of this season, and wherever he plays after that is anyone's guess.

Of course, that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning or from whispers coming from the West Coast that the San Francisco Giants are a very potential landing spot for the 2022 home run leader.

Those whispers got a little louder on Wednesday when the league's 2023 schedule was announced — and showed that the Orange and Black will open up their next campaign at Yankee Stadium.

MLB just announced the 2023 schedule. The Giants will open at Yankee Stadium next March 30, which will be a nice moment for Aaron Judge.

The Giants open up the 2023 season on the road at Yankee Stadium…

The only question is if Aaron Judge will still be wearing the pinstripes or the black & orange? #SFGiants

Again, there is nothing written in stone here. There is no guarantee the Giants will make Judge an offer he can't refuse, or that Judge really is leaving New York after this season concludes.

All that being said, it's hard not to be intrigued by the idea of Judge facing his former team on Opening Day next season.
