Why Mike Trout has little interest in playing for Yankees
Wednesday, April 17, 2024
Mike Trout has built a Hall of Fame-worthy career in his now 14 seasons in the majors. How could it be when the team was 17 games behind in the AL West last season and lost Shohei Ohtani to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the offseason? With seven years remaining on Trout's 12-year, $426,500 million contract, questions are mounting about his future in Los Angeles and how much longer he is willing to keep losing. Trout has told reporters he has not considered forcing his way out of Los Angeles, and a snippet from ESPN MLB reporter Alden Gonzalez's story sheds more light on why, even if he ever wanted to leave, he is not inclined to play for the Yankees despite growing up in Vineland and having a house in Bridgeton.

Aaron Judge, Yankees not sweating slugger's inconsistent start: 'It's baseball'
Wednesday, April 17, 2024
With an 0-for-4 performance and two strikeouts on Tuesday, Aaron Judge had another rough night as the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays, 5-4. Judge is now hitting .182 over 18 games this season. To say Judge is off to an awful start would be hyperbolic, as the slugger has three home runs — the most recent came Sunday in Cleveland — nine RBI and a .337 OBP. Aaron Boone attributed that to Judge “just probably not dominating the heater like he normally does.”
