Aaron Judge Turns Heads After Message to Ex-Yankees Teammate Surfaces
Aaron Judge Turns Heads After Message to Ex-Yankees Teammate Surfaces originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how Aaron Judge is playing for the New York Yankees this season. The superstar slugger leads baseball with a .394 batting average and a 1.269 OPS, and he's also second with 25 homers and 59 RBI through 66 games. Advertisement The next-closest player in batting average is Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson at .366, and Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is second with a 1.008 OPS. Judge also tops baseball with 98 hits and is second only to Ohtani with 64 runs scored. The latter player has 68. While Judge is out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals, Yankees fans were still treated to an ESPN article about him from Wright Thompson. Among other things, this article revealed an exchange between Judge and former Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo two years ago. Rizzo played four seasons for the Yankees, including last season when he was on their World Series roster. The Yankees came up short to the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing in five games. Advertisement Fans have been reacting to this message from Judge. "Aaron Judge unironically just called his own career a failure," one stated. "Rizzo winning a ring with Chicago before being told this by Judge makes it extra funny," said another. "That is NOT the 'Yankee way' anymore," one added. "Been a whole lot of failing in the Bronx over the last 20 years then!" one wrote. "They've been saying this the whole Judge it done!!!" added another. New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (99)William Purnell-Imagn Images Judge has hit homers in three straight games, including a two-homer outing in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The 33-year-old is slashing .364/.488/.788 with four homers and nine RBI over nine contests in June. Advertisement New York has won two straight games and is 6-4 over its last 10. The club is four games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. The Yankees will clinch a series sweep of the Royals if they win on Thursday night. Right-handed pitcher Will Warren (4-3, 5.34 ERA) will start for them.

Five bullpen arms Philadelphia Phillies should target to replace suspended Jose Alvarado
An already struggling Philadelphia Phillies bullpen was dealt a major blow earlier this week when Jose Alvarado was suspended 80 games for testing positive for a PED. Though Alvarado is eligible to return in late August, he is prohibited from pitching in the postseason if the Phillies advance that far. Prior to his suspension, Alvarado served as the Phillies' top arm out of the bullpen, posting a 2.70 ERA in 20 appearances, with 25 strikeouts across 20 innings. Overall, Philadelphia's relievers rank 23rd in baseball with a 4.57 ERA. Advertisement With a significant hole to fill, here are the Phillies' top five options to target. David Robertson Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images David Robertson remains a free agent despite an effective 2024 season with the Texas Rangers where he recorded a 3.00 ERA in 68 appearances and struck out 99 across 72 innings. The Phillies reportedly reached out to Robertson prior to the Alvarado suspension, but nothing has materialized since then. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is familiar with the 40-year-old reliever, having traded for him from the Chicago Cubs in 2022. This would be the most cost-effective option for the Phillies, as they wouldn't have to part with any valuable prospects. If Robertson returns, it would mark his third stint in Philadelphia. Felix Bautista Credit: Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images The Baltimore Orioles are struggling and going nowhere this season as they sit in last place in the AL East and recently fired manager Brandon Hyde. Since the O's will likely be sellers at the deadline, they have a valuable trade chip in one-time All-Star closer Felix Bautista, who has returned to action after missing all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He's controllable through 2027 and as a former All-Star could command a premium from the Phillies. His fastball velocity sits at 97 mph and ranks in the 89th percentile, though he is allowing more walks this season. Through 14 games, he has posted a 3.95 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings, alongside nine free passes. Pete Fairbanks Credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Though he doesn't strike out batters at his previous rate, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Pete Fairbanks still throws 97 mph and carries a 2.37 ERA through 20 appearances. He also has a $7 million club option that could appeal to the Phillies, providing an extra year of control, as they will likely decline Alvarado's $9 million club option for 2026. Fairbanks is coming off consecutive 20-save seasons (25 in 2023 and 23 in 2024) and has recorded eight saves so far this year. Kyle Finnegan Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images The lone bright spot in a dismal Washington Nationals bullpen is closer Kyle Finnegan. The 2024 All-Star is tied for the MLB lead in saves with 25. In 18 games, Finnegan has recorded a 2.55 ERA, with a 162 ERA+ and 2.35 FIP. He re-signed with the Nationals on a one-year, $6 million deal in the offseason and will become a free agent after the season. David Bednar Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar endured a brutal start to the season, getting optioned to Triple-A three games in after posting a 27.00 ERA. Since returning to the mound on April 19, he has delivered 10 scoreless appearances in 14 outings, lowering his ERA to 5.02, while allowing just five earned runs during that stretch. The two-time All-Star has struck out 20 across 13 1/3 innings. Bednar is making $5.9 million this year and remains arbitration eligible for 2026.

Phillies Insider: Answer to Offensive Woes Could be Trea Turner Leading Off Permanently
Jun 25, 2023; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (7) hits an RBI single against the New York Mets during the third inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports It's been a rough patch for the Philadelphia Phillies lately, including getting swept by the Pirates and dropping nine of their last 10 games. Making issues worse has been the absence of Bryce Harper, with the team hitting just .198 without him. The offense has struggled to score runs, tallying two or fewer in four of their last five games. Advertisement As Phillies insider Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer recently noted on Sportsnaut's MLB podcast, Big League Buzz, the offense is struggling and one move could spark its dormant offense. 📺 WATCH Our Interview with Scott Lauber on Phillies Struggles The Lineup Adjustment That Could Spark the Phillies' Turnaround? Aug 8, 2023; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (7) hits an RBI double during the first inning against the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports One potential tweak discussed to kick-start the Phillies' offense and perhaps ignite the top of the order is moving Trea Turner to the leadoff spot permanently. 'I think moving Turner to the leadoff spot is probably the easiest thing to do,' Lauber told me on Big League Buzz, talking about the Phillies' struggles at the plate. 'He bats lead off against lefties, that's kind of been the way they've gone throughout the year.' Advertisement Lauber noted that Bryson Stott has been batting leadoff 70 percent of the time, but Stott continues to struggle with getting on base. Moving Turner permanently to the top of the order makes sense to the veteran beat writer. 'Maybe he becomes the leadoff guy against everybody at least for a little while here,' Lauber said. 'And maybe that sparks things at the top of the order a little bit.' In the Phillies' 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday, Turner was batting leadoff (starter Matthew Boyd is a left-hander) and finished the game 1-for-4.

Advertisement 'It's still only the beginning of June,' Lauber stressed. 'You're not going to see a major shake kind of move on June 9th. There's a long way between now and July 31st.'
