Star Yankees Pitcher Nestor Cortes Opened Up About His Failed Attempt of Getting Aaron Judge to Say Anything About His Contract

Aaron Judge’s free agency has been the talk of baseball town until he finally signed his extension with the New York Yankees. Almost no one had any idea about whether Judge will stay in the Bronx before signing the contract. Even the Yankees ace Nestor Cortes Jr. tried his best to get something out of Judge, only to get failed.

A few days after Judge re-signed with the Yanks, Cortes told the YES network’s reporter Meredith Marakovits about his failed attempt of trying to get some information out of the outfielder, Big Aaron Judge.

How did Cortes try to get Aaron Judge to speak?

It is no doubt that every Yankee fan wanted Aaron Judge to stay as a Yankee. Therefore, not only for him but for all the Yankees fans, Cortes sent some not-so-subtle hints to Judge to try and get some information out of him. But to his dismay, he failed.

“I was giving pointers to see if he would give me anything. If he was playing poker, I couldn’t tell the hand he was playing. It was fun to be around him,” confessed Cortes.

This incident happened when Nestor, with his fiancee, was in Tampa, and he texted All Rise to know what he was up to the next night. And Judge informed Nestor that he and his wife will be at the Bucs game. And since Cortes Jr. did not have much to do, he also joined the AL MVP to watch the Bucs game. Then at the Bucs game, Nestor wanted to get in on some inner information from Judge. And he miraculously failed.

In Cortes Jr.’s words, Judge deserves everything:

Although Cortes failed to get Aaron to tell him anything, a day and a half later, Judge did sign with the Yankees. The pitcher expressed his happiness over having his teammate back and also talked about how great he has been over the years.

He said that All Rise is a special person who deserves everything present in the world. Notably, apart from being a wonderful player, the Yankees slugger is someone who always encourages his teammates, especially when they are going through a tough phase.
