Aaron Judge Open To Playing In 2026 World Baseball Classic
1 day agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge said he's open to playing in next year's World Baseball Classic, which would be his first time participating in the event. "I think that'd be pretty fun. It'd be cool to represent your country. [Team USA] made it to the finals, but they didn't win it. So we gotta win it. We'll see," Judge said. It's probably not what fantasy managers will want to see, but the six-time All-Star, two-time MVP and former American League Rookie of the Year will still most likely be one of the top fantasy options on the board next spring. Judge led the league in WAR (10.8), home runs (58), RBI (144), walks (133), on-base percentage (.458), slugging percentage (.701), OPS (1.159) and total bases (392) in 158 games for the Yankees in 2024 and is in play for the first overall fantasy pick in drafts this spring, even while losing protection in the lineup in the form of Juan Soto.
