It read, “Chris Bassitt says that what the Yankees were up to on Aaron Judge’s controversial home run in Toronto wasn’t technically illegal, but Judge’s response was a lie.”

In the video, Bassitt was seen explaining the whole incident. He said, it’s a gray area, and we can’t term it illegal technical. He answers, ” So I’ll say this about the whole situation. They knew we were tipping, and they were relaying tips. Is that illegal? No, it’s not illegal.”
