The Boston Red Sox have “been in touch” with the representatives for star slugger Aaron Judge, according to MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo.

However, Cotillo cautioned that Boston “is not one of the most aggressive teams showing interest in the reigning American League MVP.”

The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are considered to be at the top of Judge’s list. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported Monday that “other teams remain on the periphery” and that “no prominent mystery team has emerged.”
