TAMPA, Fla, (AP) — Aaron Judge flashed a big smile when asked if he could have another season like last year’s record-setter when the New York Yankees slugger hit an AL-record 62 homers, saying “you never know what could happen.” Judge was a free agent after last season, and ended up signing a $360 million, nine-year contract to stay with New York. The new Yankees’ captain, the first since Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, tookl live batting practice during the team’s first full-squad workout. Judge’s main focus is on helping New York win its first World Series title since 2009.
