Aaron Judge ominously coy when pressed about Yankees future (New York Post)

Hours before taking the field at the 2022 All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium on Sunday, Judge was pressed in an on-field interview by ESPN's Marly Rivera on his ...

Rivera shared a story of a young fan named Jacob, who asked her: “Are you telling me that Aaron Judge may not be a Yankee after this year?” She then asked the star outfielder what he would say to the boy. His MVP-caliber first half looks even better when turning the clock back several months ago to when Judge heavily bet on himself, rejecting the Yankees’ seven-year, $213.5 million extension offer in April. “Jacob, buddy, we got a lot of great Yankees on this team, you know, there are a lot of great Yankees [that will] be here for a long time so don’t be upset,” Judge said.

MLB All-Star Game 2022: The story of Aaron Judge's summer in ... (FOXSports.com)

Years before Aaron Judge became MLB's most dominant hitter, he spent a summer in the ABL. Jake Mintz talked to Judge and others about that time.

And while you didn’t always see his talent on the field or while he was hitting in a game, you still knew he was special." But it was a stepping stone, one of many in a remarkable journey that has taken Judge from an overlooked three-sport high school athlete to one of the best baseball players on the planet. We were pretty active and just tried to make the most of our experience because we didn't know how many times in our life we would get the chance to go back to Alaska." "He was a boy in a man’s body, and jeez, the ball just flew off his bat," Hardin recounted over the phone. The guy I lost to [in the finals] went on a tear, so when I came up after him, I had a number in my head that I had to beat. "And part of the reason that we did a Home Run Derby was specifically for Aaron Judge." Hardin, who spent years scouting for the Reds before becoming a head coach at a Seattle-area junior college, is the kind of baseball lifer who has seen it all and done it all. "They’ll be like, ‘Hey, coach, you beat Aaron Judge in a Home Run Derby and couldn’t even make the big leagues?’" Martin said with a laugh over the phone. "So Judge fields it and proceeds to throw the ball entirely out of the stadium and into the parking lot on purpose," Hohl shared via text. "I think he did it just to prove he had the biggest arm there. He spent that summer playing for the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, one of five teams in the summer collegiate Alaska Baseball League. "A priority for me that summer was trying to work on developing some more power because I only hit those four homers my freshman year."

Aaron Judge interview: Baseball fans convinced he's leaving Yankees (FanSided)

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge gave an uncomfortable interview with ESPN in which he addressed his future at the All-Star Game.

However, I’m not sure what else Judge was supposed to say there, other than the usual with a smile. That was as good of an answer as he could have given in the moment. Judge spoke with ESPN’s Marly Rivera on the All-Star red carpet before the game.

This could be yet another act of relenting on Judge’s behalf following the Yankees-Juan Soto trade speculation. Why go on MLB Network and talk with Harold Reynolds about how you rejecting the contract isn’t a gamble because you think you’re worth more? “For me, it’s never been about the money.

Is Aaron Judge the Yankees' next Derek Jeter? Comparing their ... (USA TODAY)

Aaron Judge is still waiting to win a World Series like Derek Jeter did five times. Maybe this is the year, with the Yankees owning MLB's best record.

And here is the question the Yankees have struggled to answer: How much is all that worth? Jeter had played on six pennant winners and four world champions before turning 30, Judge’s current age. They gave him Yankee Stadium, the game’s greatest stage, and the full weight of their storied history – offering him a part of an umatched baseball lineage. Already logged into Zoom for the hearing, Judge’s agents agreed to the $19 million midpoint of their $4 million gulf, with $250,000 if he wins the AL MVP and another $250,000 as the World Series MVP. Judge and the Yankees were on a collision course last month toward arbitration – a rare occurrence in the Hal Steinbrenner regime – when a settlement was achieved beyond the 11th hour. That a player so gifted of on-field talent, leadership skills and personal reserve might so quickly become the homegrown face of the franchise.

Aaron Judge has learned to make small adjustments to get big results (The Athletic)

Judge has size, strength, and can drive just about any pitch over the wall. But he is also a meticulous preparer — "a hitter's hitter."

“I think one of the tricks with Judge is that he didn’t lose his strength to gain more consistency.” What he wants to accomplish in a game, he translates to a step-by-step progression from training, to BP if he’s taking it for the day, to cage work, to pregame sessions. “Very few of the swings on a daily basis — and in a 162-game season, it would be easy to set some days aside — lack full focus,” Lawson said. Judge is the son of retired teachers, and he takes his responsibility as a role model to young fans seriously. In late 2019, Judge dove for a ball in September in a game against the Anaheim Angels, sprawling out to make a play against a sub-.500 team when the Yankees were two days away from clinching the AL East with a little over a week left in the regular season. Physical maintenance is the one aspect of his game that Judge is open about changing. He has earned just over $36 million in salary for the Yankees so far, a remarkably disproportionate figure in juxtaposition to the value he has provided on the field and in marketing and publicity to the team and to Major League Baseball as a whole. Technology and data research for pitching are far ahead of what is available on the hitting side for now, and smart clubs and players have effectively used those resources to make pitchers throw harder and throw with more break, taking what used to be an exceptional skill — throwing 98 mph with a nasty slider — into the expected baseline for a middle reliever on any given night. Chapman played as an infielder in professional baseball and admits he stopped pitching in high school, but he’s on the portable mound each day throwing sliders and riding fastballs as Judge trains his body to react. That’s usually what I focus on the first couple of rounds, but there’s always a round or two where you see where the power is at and let it eat.” Judge is the homegrown superstar who seems to do nothing on a normal scale, a supersized ballplayer who hits towering home runs while playing for the most revered and reviled franchise in North American professional sports. He’s an overall better hitter now than he was in his wildly successful 2017 breakout season, and most around the Yankees attribute his development to his conscious application of the lessons of experience to his routines and training.

NY Yankees superstar Aaron Judge went above and beyond to sign a baseball for NY Giants first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Judge would of course be welcome to East Rutherford with open arms. With that, he’s of course going to be keeping a close eye on the Giants and their young talent. The people inside of the park loved what they had to see from the first-round selection, and it turns out so did Yankees’ slugger Aaron Judge.

However, the prospect of Judge leaving the Yankees is very real, especially if another team comes in offering a big contract. So far, Judge is hitting .284 with a 36.4% on-base rate, 33 homers, and 70 RBIs. He hit 39 homers in 2021 but to already be at 33 during the All-Star break is simply unbelievable. He is seeking a far more lucrative contract and with another elite campaign underway for the star slugger, he’s likely to land a deal worth over $35 million per season.

The return of switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal could provide a lift for the White Sox, who are looking for their third consecutive playoff appearance. The crosstown Mets are on top of the NL East, looking to hold off the Braves and take the franchise’s first division title since 2015. “But I would just say he’s a more complete, refined, veteran player that is also in the prime of his career.” We’re going to turn the corner,” White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech said. Just ask Rodriguez and the Mariners, winners of 14 in a row. Roberts’ club is one of three teams with at least a nine-game lead in their respective divisions heading into the second half.
