The Yankees remain without Aaron Judge who was recently put on the IL.
On Saturday, Yankees legend Derek Jeter was asked about Judge (via FOX Sports: MLB).
Jeter: “Let’s just be honest, Aaron Judge is as irreplaceable as player in the league. Maybe in baseball… You’re not just gonna have one individual pick up the slack. They’re gonna need contributions from a lot of guys that have underperformed.”
Fans will likely enjoy hearing Jeter talk about Judge.
The five-time World Series Champion spent all 20 years of his legendary career with the Yankees.
Jeter was supposed to call the game with Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz for FOX.
