Yankees slugger and likely AL MVP Aaron Judge is having a season for the ages. He clubbed two more homers on Tuesday night to move him to 57 with 20 Yankees games left to play. He's on pace for 65 this season and, well, we know all about the context behind getting to 61 and beyond.
Another aspect worth consideration here is Judge hits free agency after the season. He and the Yankees were unable to reach an extension, and he's putting together possibly the best contract year in sports history. That means that beyond his individual home run chase, questions will be asked about free agency.
On Tuesday, Judge's exploits were on display in Boston's Fenway Park and he was asked about possibly signing there.
Judge, ever the diplomat, answered as follows:
"Ooh," Judge replied with his trademark smile. "We'll talk about that at the end of the year."
"It's the best, they're some of the best in baseball. They're going to boo you, they're going to say some things, they're going to make you laugh," Judge said of the Boston fans. "It's all part of it. A lot of great history here, and this is one of the best places to play, so it's always fun going out there and trying to put on a show for them."
