Yankees Trade Pitch Partners Aaron Judge With $141 Million Infielder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The MLB trade deadline is a time when the rich—a team like the New York Yankees, for example—get richer, typically by feasting on small-market teams that are pivoting to next season.

Aaron Judge isn't letting his own struggles or those of the New York Yankees get him down. After the Yankees' dropped their sixth consecutive game with a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, Judge told reporters they "can't mope" because every MLB season is full of peaks and valleys for every team.

That would be Anthony Volpe, whose ninth-inning strikeout finished off a horrific night in the Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Angels. The shortstop’s rap sheet consisted of an an 0-4 with three whiffs and a killer error in the eighth inning that sealed the Bombers’ sixth straight defeat.
