#Aaron Judge

In the long, glorious history of the New York Yankees, the most decorated franchise in professional sports, it's very difficult to argue for unfair treatment - except in areas where the personal biases of writers are allowed to intervene. The Yankees have been outright dominant over the course of the past century, which means they've created…

Baerga, who spent 14 years in the big leagues, hosts a popular podcast in Puerto Rico called "I Love Sports with Carlos Baerga and Friends."

When the puck is dropped at center ice at the TD Garden on Jan. 14 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, it will be the official start to the second half of the 2022-23 regular season for the Boston Bruins. As the top team in the NHL with a 32-5-4 record, first-year coach Jim Montgomery and his team have far exceeded preseason expectations. There have…

Al MVP 2022 Aaron Judge is currently a free agent, and which team is he going to land is still the biggest question in the MLB world. Notably, the Yankees are not the only team in the race to land Judge on their team. National League's San Francisco Giants is one of the top running teams who want Judge to sign for them. Last week, Judge reportedly…

LOS ANGELES - Both the Yankees and Mets will look into a trade for suddenly available superstar Juan Soto, sources tell The Post. That should surprise no one as his availability represents a rare chance to acquire an all-time talent at age 23. That said, the early speculation around the game is that it won't be easy for anyone to complete a…

We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

After a slightly delayed start, Opening Day for the 2022 season is just days away. That also means you only have a few days remaining to get some final player prop bets in before the season starts. Several sportsbooks have set over/unders for some key players on the Red Sox. They've also set odds on certain players' chances to win the American…

Now that the 2022 MLB trade deadline has passed, it's worthwhile to check back in on the updated World Series odds. While the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros still sit atop the World Series odds boards, given the changes to this year's playoff format, it's truly anyone's game once the 12-team field is officially set. A handful of playoff-contending…

Austin Riley has be a key member of the Atlanta Braves offense for the past two years. In 2022 he took his offensive output to a new level. Let's explore what he did differently that helped him see his offense reach the elite level territory. In 2021, Riley had a slash line of.303/.367/.531 with 33 HRs and a 136 wRC+ in 662 plate appearances. In…

The Astros' offseason has been filled with disrespectful prediction after slanderous column. And we get it--people are sick of the bad boys of baseball and they are sick of their winning ways. Since 2017, the Astros have made it to the ALCS six straight seasons, won the AL West five times, appeared in four World Series and won two. Needless to say,…

After going back and forth about the format of this article, I've settled on giving you five takeaways from Dan Szymborski's ZiPS projections for the New York Yankees. Some will surprise you, and others won't. It really all depends on your expectation. If you're interested in reading the projections yourself and going by line by line trying to…

The Major League Baseball season looms just over the horizon and new hopes are placed in teams around major league baseball. The Houston Astros lifted the Commissioner's Trophy at the end oflast season, winning in six against a stubbornly difficult Philadelphia Phillies. As the dust settles on the biggest of the off-season trade deals, all eyes…

For all the talk about how division races supposedly don't matter as much as they used to -- and I can think of a couple No. 1 and No. 2 seeds who would very much disagree with you -- it still means something to be able to call yourself a champion. I guarantee you there are Guardians fans who have 2022 AL Central champs shirts. It might not be the…

I write this piece every year, but I never could have predicted what happened in 2021. Usually, "bold predictions" come up short because they're too bold. For instance, last year I picked Austin Slater to hit more homers than in his previous four seasons combined (he came close, missing by two!) and Duane Kuiper projected double-digit homers for…

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees remain alive in the postseason, but free agency rumors persisted throughout the season after he rejected a contract extension worth a reported seven years and $213.5 million at his Opening Day deadline. By all accounts, Judge and his agent, Page Odle, maintained their stance of not further discussing a contract…

The good news about MLB.com's predictions for the next 10 World Series matchups (which are set in stone and written entirely unironically, definitely, without a doubt)? They've given the Yankees a championship, something this starving fan base hasn't experienced since 2009. The bad news? Only a single title won't satiate these hounds, and the other…

First shortstop Carlos Correa was going to leave the Minnesota Twins to sign a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. But concerns over Correa's earlier ankle injury prompted the Giants to back out of the deal after setting up the news conference to announce it. Awkward! That prompted billionaire fanboy Steve Cohen to swoop…

In a saga that's had more twists and turns than a typical race day at the Monaco Grand Prix, it appears that Carlos Correa has finally figured out where he's going to be playing baseball for the next few seasons. It won't be in San Francisco for 13 years and $350 million and it won't be in Queens for 12 years and $315 million, either. Instead, the…

This past summer, both Aaron Judge and Rafael Devers signed hefty contracts with their respective organizations. As a result, everything is in place for both men to be crucial components of their respective teams in 2023. In 2022, Aaron Judge broke a well-known single-season home run record. He bettered Roger Maris' 1961 record of 61 home runs in a…

Carlos Correa previously agreed to terms on a 13-year and 12-year deal with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. Both deals ultimately fell apart due to concerns about Correa's long-term health because of a lingering leg ailment. Correa most recently agreed to a 6-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. Nothing is official yet…

Carlos Correa is reportedly staying put. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the free-agent shortstop, who reportedly signed a massive contract with the Giants and Mets before medical issues hindered it, is actually re-signing with the Twins on a six-year $200 million contract. To commemorate Correa's signing, fans can get his gear at Fanatics. On…

Off the top of your head, see if you can name the teams that won the World Series every year of the last 10 seasons, in order. You ready? No peeking. The answers are, of course: 2013: Red Sox over Cardinals 2014: Giants over Royals 2015: Royals over Mets 2016: Cubs over Indians 2017: Astros over Dodgers 2018: Red Sox over Dodgers 2019: Nationals…

Major League Baseball's offseason has officially crossed the halfway point. All but five of our top 50 free agents are off the board. The trade market is still open, of course, but the biggest story on that front this offseason has concerned who hasn't been moved rather than who has. Coming into the offseason, the expectation was that the Los…

Despite their comfortable lead atop the AL East, the Yankees are just 5-5 across their last 10 and are now sending a vulnerable Domingo German to the mound. The Mariners are countering with a formidable Marco Gonzales, making them a live underdog. The Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees will lock horns for the first of three games at Yankee…

The New York Yankees already made a splash in free agency by poaching an All-Star from the San Francisco Giants (in more ways than one). Now, they've continued their offseason by signing a front office executive who won multiple World Series titles with the Giants. Brian Sabean, who worked with New York in 1980s and 1990s, recently re-joined the…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Guardians still need a catcher. Manager Terry Francona said patience is required and that executives Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff will deliver a backstop. That is a good thing because as Casey Stengel said a long time ago, "If you don't have a catcher, you're going to have a lot of passed balls." The winter meetings…

With the 2021 MLB season upon us, we will take a look at how the AL East appears to be shaping up. Here are my predictions for the AL East in the 2021 MLB season: The Baltimore Orioles finished 4th in the AL East just one season ago, but are by no means ready to compete in this division. The rotation does not look great and the lineup has a ton of…

Playing nine innings while congratulating Kevin Millar on shattering the all-time words-spoken-per-minute record by a NESN Red Sox analyst … 1. It's not much fun, and there's not much to be gained, to think about what the 64-68, last-place Red Sox are right now. So let me ask you: What's your within-reason ideal for what happens this offseason? To…

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees meet Reese McGuire and the Boston Red Sox on Sunday at 7:08 PM ET in the final game of a four-game series. The New York Yankees average 1.6 home runs per game and have hit a league-leading 241 home runs in total. The Red Sox's.258 batting average is among the best in baseball, ranking fourth in MLB. Here is…

With the All-Star break in the rearview, the 2022 MLB season is about to kick into high gear. The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and this year's deadline could see one of the game's best players get moved in Juan Soto. Once the deadline passes, the race for the playoffs will be on with just over two months of the regular season…

The New York Yankees and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge agreed to terms on a nine-year, $360 million deal Wednesday morning. There's fallout all over the place, but one aspect -- a strong one -- is the likelihood that Judge will end up being a career Yankee. In this day and age, that's pretty rare. Given that Judge just set the single-season team…

It was a bittersweet season for the New York Yankees last year. While the team dominated the American League East with a record of 99-63, they again fell to their playoff rivals, the Houston Astros. However, fans of the club were treated to a historic season by their superstar outfielder Aaron Judge. The slugger enjoyed the best season of his…

SAN DIEGO -- "What does it mean?" That is a question the Giants asked themselves over and over again for the last month, through endless rumors, eye-popping quotes in a magazine article, a misspelled and misinformed tweet, and a 13-second video that rocked the baseball world a few days before Thanksgiving. For months, the Giants had prepared to…

The year 2022 was filled with various enormous changes for the outfielder Aaron Judge. From starting the year by betting on himself to hit 50 home runs to ending the year by getting named the captain of one of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball, All Rise has come a long way. However, it wasn't the easiest journey for him to cover,…

We have seen some big moves made across the board this offseason, as playoff teams tooled up their rosters to make another series push at a title in 2023. Here are the early World Series odds with a little…

Let's call it two years, 11 months. On Feb. 4, 2020, the initial (and better) version of the Mookie Betts trade broke. An organizational failure spanning three baseball bosses, and a punt to the groin that fundamentally changed how a sizable percentage of people viewed the Red Sox. By Jan. 4, 2023, their likes had only grown, and the snowball of…

Who is the best player on the Los Angeles Angels? On a team that features Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, we're lucky that we can have serious debates on the subject and have nobody be wrong. Mike Trout is one of the best players of all time and is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Shohei Ohtani is doing things we've never seen before on the mound…

The MLB is already set up to be filled with drama and unexpected twists in 2023. The winter meetings just took place in San Diego, and there were a number of noticeable moves that took place. Xander Bogaerts signed with the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night which means over 20 free agents in the major league agreed to contracts. If you add the…

The New York Yankees signed Carlos Rodon to a six-year, $162 million contract and former outfielder Cameron Maybin loves the signing. The Yankees have been a step behind the Houston Astros for years now in the American League, but Rodon's presence could tip the scales. According to NJ.com, Maybin, who briefly played for the Yankees before entering…

CLEVELAND - Think about how much has changed in a year. Last January, baseball stood still, and we were left to talk ourselves into Bradley Zimmer, ponder José Ramírez trades and evaluate commissioner Rob Manfred's negotiating tactics. It was bleak. But the lockout ended, Ramírez signed a long-term deal, Zimmer lasted one day of the regular season…
