Aaron Judge on Astros' Punishment: 'I Thought It Was a Little Weak'

Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge did not hold back in expressing his frustration over MLB's decision to not punish Houston Astros players following their sign-stealing scandal.

"I wasn't a fan of the punishment," Judge told reporters on Tuesday. "I thought it was a little weak for a player-driven scheme."

Judge joins a growing group of players who have sounded off on the league giving Astros players immunity in exchange for their testimony. MLB suspended manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow through the 2020 season, and team owner Jim Crane subsequently fired them.
