The two superstars had a conversation about Judge Contract. Betts asked Judge what he bought after signing a new contract, to which he said nothing as he is still waiting for a couple of checks. The Dodgers star found the answer surprising and asked Aaron to think about something in the future.

He said,” The first. I would have bought it as soon as I ain’t happy yet. Give me a necklace or something.” To settle this, the Yankees star made a promise and asked for some time. Judge said, “Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I got to you. Give me till, give me till All-Star break. I’ll start to break work with something.”

Though the 2022 MVP lost off the field, he is ruling on the field. Aaron is averaging 0.291 this season. He has scored 41 runs and has contributed with 39 RBIs in 48 games. He has also been solid with hits with 18 home runs with an OPS of 1.065.
