Aaron Judge dodges vaccine question after Yankees, Mets mandate news

[Auggie]

Aaron Judge did not want to go there.

After news broke that Yankees and Mets players would be beholden to the same New York City vaccine mandate regulations that have prevented Kyrie Irving from playing home games for the Nets, the Yankees’ slugger was asked by reporters if he’s vaccinated.

“I’m still focused on getting to the first game of spring training,” Judge answered.

“I think we’ll cross that bridge whenever the time comes, but right now so many things could change so I’m not really too worried about that.”

While Judge may be unconcerned, one would have to imagine that the Yankees and Mets have started to worry about issues that may arise.

4. SEIU ain't to happy

The SEIU, a major service industry union who supports the vaccination mandate, noted that every worker in the venues where games are taking place had to get vaccinated in order to keep their jobs, and wondered why millionaires think they should be exempted from public safety mandates.
