A-Rod and Jeter present their honest thoughts on the Aaron Judge update!

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are currently covering the MLB London Games with FOX Sports. Most recently, they talked about Aaron Judge and his latest injury update. FOX Sports shared a video of the segment on YouTube as the debate over Judge’s future continues. Both of them complimented the Yankees’ captain for his play. In fact, Rodriguez went as far as comparing him to Barry Bonds while Jeter called him MLB’s best current player. But they both also said that the Bombers will struggle without Judge in upcoming games. 

In the video, Rodriguez said, “And he’s the closest thing to Barry Bonds. The Yankees are a great team, without him they’re just very pedestrian.” Jeter followed this up with his own thoughts, saying, “I tell you, I feel bad for Aaron, I mean, he works extremely hard, and he was having another great season. Uh, I feel bad for the Yankee fans. They don’t get a chance to watch, arguably the greatest player in the game right now, on a daily basis.
