Aaron Judge Turns Heads After Message to Ex-Yankees Teammate Surfaces originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
There aren't enough superlatives to describe how Aaron Judge is playing for the New York Yankees this season. The superstar slugger leads baseball with a .394 batting average and a 1.269 OPS, and he's also second with 25 homers and 59 RBI through 66 games.
The next-closest player in batting average is Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson at .366, and Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is second with a 1.008 OPS. Judge also tops baseball with 98 hits and is second only to Ohtani with 64 runs scored. The latter player has 68.
While Judge is out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals, Yankees fans were still treated to an ESPN article about him from Wright Thompson. Among other things, this article revealed an exchange between Judge and former Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo two years ago.
Rizzo played four seasons for the Yankees, including last season when he was on their World Series roster. The Yankees came up short to the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing in five games.
Fans have been reacting to this message from Judge.
"Aaron Judge unironically just called his own career a failure," one stated.
"Rizzo winning a ring with Chicago before being told this by Judge makes it extra funny," said another.
"That is NOT the 'Yankee way' anymore," one added.
"Been a whole lot of failing in the Bronx over the last 20 years then!" one wrote.
"They've been saying this the whole Judge window...Get it done!!!" added another.

Judge has hit homers in three straight games, including a two-homer outing in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The 33-year-old is slashing .364/.488/.788 with four homers and nine RBI over nine contests in June.
New York has won two straight games and is 6-4 over its last 10. The club is four games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. The Yankees will clinch a series sweep of the Royals if they win on Thursday night. Right-handed pitcher Will Warren (4-3, 5.34 ERA) will start for them.
