DUNEDIN, Fla. — There are no asterisks in the clubhouse or on the field. After Brian Cashman said there should be an asterisk on the Bombers’ 12-year World Series drought because the 2017 Astros cheated, the face of the franchise disagreed.
“We just, we didn’t win, you know,” Yankees slugger Aaron Judge said Sunday morning. “In my book, we didn’t win so that doesn’t count in my book. We didn’t win so I can’t take credit for it.”
The Yankees GM told The Athletic that the Yankees, who haven’t been to a World Series since 2009, should have that asterisk because they faced the Astros in 2017 ALCS who were using their video room to not only electronically steal signs, but illegally relay them in real time to hitters in the box. The Red Sox and Dodgers, who also lost to the Astros in the playoffs that year, have since gone on to win a World Series.
