New York Yankees player Aaron Judge sparked a panic on social media Thursday afternoon through no fault of his own.
Aaron Judge will be a free agent for this season, and there is no guarantee that he will stay with the Yankees.
General Manager Brian Cashman offered Judge a seven-year contract worth $213.5 million before the start of the season. The judge rejected this offer, and therefore bet himself in the hope of getting more money from New York or from another potential suitor in free agency.
It’s safe to say that it proved to be of great value then some. Judge nearly secured the Triple Crown, cutting .311/.425/.686 with 62 home runs and 131 RBI. It was a historic campaign – one in which he set the record for one home season in the MLS, surpassing Roger Maris.
Aaron Judge sends Yankees fans into a panic by doing absolutely nothing
Aaron Judge did nothing — I repeat, absolutely nothing — on social media Thursday night. However, in spite of all that, Fans were worried presumed act. Let me explain.
A Twitter user discovered Judge was not following the Yankees on Instagram, assuming that means the star outside player has removed his social media from mentions of his former team.
However, Judge did not follow the Yanks in the first place, according to Talkin Yanks. Oh, offseason. How we miss you.
The MLB offseason is long, and even by remaining silent, the judge can make a bold statement. In this case, though, it’s nothing giant burger.
For many New York sports fans, their most recent memory of Judge with one striped stripe has been a negative. Players were surprised by how the judge treated the ALCS against the Houston Astros, per Andy Martino from SNY:
“More than one Yankee player told his agent this week that playing on the field last weekend was an extraordinarily brutal experience. It was hard for many of his teammates to believe the fans booed. [Aaron] Judge. Even a tough, poor performer like Josh Donaldson is turned into a somewhat sympathetic character internally because of the power of sarcasm.”
Yes, Judge hit the under-200 in the post-season, and he was one of the many disappointing aspects of the Yankees postseason. It is far from the only problem.
Who knows if it will be part of Cashman’s supposed solution.
