Judge Judged

When I first heard that Aaron Judge made a comment to Manny Machado about Machado looking good in pinstripes, I wondered if there would be tampering issues:

Major League Baseball has told New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge his comments attempting to recruit Baltimore shortstop Manny Machado violate the sport’s tampering rules, and Judge says he has learned the lesson.

Major League Baseball says in a statement: ”We have been in contact with the Yankees. They communicated to us that Mr. Judge’s off the cuff comments were not appropriate and not authorized by the club. They will speak to him to make sure that this does not happen again.”

Seems like a pretty innocent comment, but Judge should have known better.
