Aaron Judge has continued his dominance with the Yankees through the first two months of the 2023 MLB season, fresh off of signing a massive deal to remain in New York last offseason.
But before the four-time All-Star signed his nine-year, $360 million contract to stay with the Yankees, Judge mistakenly became the center of a popular MLB meme when a report containing a rather glaring typo suggested that his time in the Bronx was coming to an end.
Prior to earning his new deal, Jon Heyman of the New York Post misspelled Judge’s first name in a tweet, writing “Arson Judge,” while suggesting that the slugger was leaning toward signing a deal to join the Giants—his favorite team as a child. In a recent episode of On Base with Mookie Betts, the Dodgers’ outfielder asked Judge about the wild moment.
