Aaron Judge Would 'Disappear' If He Left Yankees for Another Team, MLB Executive Says

Aaron Judge's Q Score would take a massive hit if he were to leave the New York Yankees in the view of one MLB executive.

The executive argued to ESPN's Buster Olney that Judge's legacy and overall profile would significant benefit by remaining in the Big Apple:

"If [Judge] signs with another team, it'd be like Alex Rodriguez going [from Seattle] to Texas. He'd disappear. No matter where it is, he wouldn't have the same impact [on the baseball landscape] than he would if he just stayed with the Yankees. If he stays with the Yankees, he'll be the next [Derek] Jeter -- they'd probably make him captain, and he'll make twice as much money in endorsements than anywhere else.
