Aaron Judge Will Play For Team USA In 2026 World Baseball Classic
17 hours agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge announced on Monday that he will play for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic and will serve as a captain. "I wanted to be there... I was looking forward to this opportunity again," Judge said. While it might not be what fantasy managers prefer if they draft the 32-year-old slugger next spring, it doesn't affect anything fantasy related this year. The reigning American League MVP did not take part in the last World Baseball Classic while he was preoccupied with his free agency, but he'll now get a chance to represent his country in the WBC next year. Not only did Judge have an outstanding 2024 campaign with 58 homers, 144 RBI, 133 walks and a 1.159 OPS in 158 regular-season games, but he's off to a fantastic start in 2025 with a league-best six homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs, .478 on-base percentage and 1.228 OPS. Judge is a beast.
