A recent report has indicated that free agent Aaron Judge has had issues with the passionate New York Yankees fan base. The report indicated that Judge took umbrage with how fans treated Joey Gallo and Aaron Hicks as they struggled.

Randy Miller of NJ.com said the Yankees fans' attitude was wearing Judge down.

New York Yankees fans have a well-earned reputation for letting players hear their unfiltered opinions. Aaron Judge himself was booed at Yankee Stadium during his slump this postseason. New York is one of the hardest places in the MLB, and this report indicates it deeply affected Judge. Yankees fans desperately want to re-sign Judge, but they could now see their chances slipping away.

Shockingly, this report made some fans comfortable with the idea of Aaron Judge leaving the New York Yankees. Some feel that this report indicates that he does not have the right mentality to win a championship in New York. He struck 62 home runs and led the team to 99 wins this season, but it didn't culminate in a World Series championship.

The report also indicates that Judge was upset with the Yankees trading Joey Gallo to the Los Angeles Dodgers midseason. Gallo was clearly struggling and unable to live up to expectations. However, trading him in the midst of these struggles could be seen as a lack of organizational support.

Wearing pinstripes is no easy task, and that pressure will certainly be a part of Judge's upcoming decision.

Very few players in the MLB are worth putting free agency plans on hold for. Aaron Judge is one of those players. He is almost certainly the American League MVP for the 2022 season, and still has many years in his prime left.

As one of the best hitters in the game, he can still be effective for many years down the road, similar to Albert Pujols. Wherever Judge decides to play in 2023 will radically change the league as a whole.
