Another home run, another victory. New York Yankees star player Aaron Judge hit his second homer of the postseason and helped his team win and advance to the ALCS. By 5-1, the Yanks won over the Cleveland Guardians in the fifth and final game of the American League Division Series. 

With the second homer of the postseason and 64th of this season, Aaron Judge also gave fans a rather beautiful hint that might stop all the rumors going around of his transfer.

The outfielder is set to be a free agent post this season, and this news is not hidden from anyone. The Yankees have previously offered Judge a seven-year contract for $213.5 million, which the athlete has politely declined. The man deserves more and knows it too.

But ever since then, the rumors of his transfer have not stopped. Judge has also teased his fans previously by wearing hoodies saying, “New York or nowhere.” Another incredible gesture from him has now melted the fans and has them thinking that he will be remaining a Yankee.
