New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge will play left field "soon." "Sometime, probably next week," Boone said. Judge, who broke the American League single-season home run record in 2022 with 62 home runs, is set to play some left field this year in the Bronx. The 30-year-old last played left field in Triple-A in 2016, but it should be a seamless transition for him at Yankee Stadium. The four-time All-Star and last year's AL MVP will be the first or second player ...

As Spring training begins to pick up steam, it's also an impending sign of fantasy baseball draft season. And what spot is more important in fantasy baseball than the outfield? Some of the game's best offensive talents man one of the outfield spots. True fantasy baseball difference-makers like Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Julio Rodriguez, Michael Harris II, and Kyle Tuckerall call the outfield their home.Outfield is a spot that is fairly deep, but that is no reason to overlook it ...

Statcast metrics such as Barrels and Brls/BBE are great ways to evaluate a fantasy baseball batter's performance, so it is only natural to assume that the metrics would be predictive for pitchers as well. As much as batters want to hit a Barrel every time, pitchers want to avoid them at all costs. Yet, there is evidence that pitchers do not have the same influence over Barrels as a batter does.Aaron Judge finished with a league-leading 106 Barrels hit in 2022. Jordan Lyles copped the league lead...

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that, while there is no plan to start playing Aaron Judge in left field, the idea is "on the table" if it will facilitate Giancarlo Stanton getting more time in right field. Both Boone and Stanton stated that the outfielder/designated hitter would benefit from more playing time in the outfield. Judge split time between center and right field in 2022 but has never played right field, and Stanton spent most of his time in right field throughout ...

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was seen taking fielding reps at first base during Tuesday's camp, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. While the 30-year-old was initially drafted as a first baseman and pitcher in 2010, he has never played first base in his big-league career. It sounds like that will continue to be the case, as manager Aaron Boone said there was "nothing there", and the team signed Anthony Rizzo to a two-year deal this off-season. The 2022 Most Valuable Player should be a top ...

Etched in the history books and one of the most prominent seasons by an individual player, New York Yankees outfielderAaron Judge now represents the face of baseball. Providing his counting stats would simply be redundant, considering the frequency of times his stats have been mentioned. Regardless, what matters is the hardware that supplemented an iconic season.

The San Francisco Giants are believed to have offered in the neighborhood of $360 million to free-agent outfielder Aaron Judge, but the assumption/belief among rivals is that the New York Yankees remain the favorites to re-sign the record-breaking slugger. MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported earlier on Tuesday that Judge appeared headed to the Giants before backtracking on his report. There's still a chance that the Giants could lure the 30-year-old American League MVP away from the Bronx, even ...
