New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge getting on the injured list had every Yanks fan worrying for the team’s future in the season. With multiple players on the IL and the team brutally losing the games, fans almost gave up on the team. And now, a recent update on Judge from third baseman Josh Donaldson has irked the loyal fans to their core.
Donaldson got traded to the Yankees last season with Isiah Kiner Falefa and Ben Rortvedt. What the Yankees thought would be a great addition to the team turned out to be a hitter with the lowest strike percentages in all of the major league. The update by him on Judge is sarcastic to the point that fans are considering him a better comedian than a baseball player.
