Yankees' Judge would welcome Harper addition
Aaron Judge would love to see Bryce Harper in pinstripes and endorsed a potential signing of the 2015 National League MVP in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
"Any time you can add an MVP to a team, it’s going to make them better," Judge said. "So, it just all depends on where he wants to go. (Manny) Machado, Bryce Harper, any of them."
Signing Harper would give the New York Yankees two perennial MVP candidates vying for the same position in right field. When asked about a possible shift to center, Judge suggested Harper might be a better fit there.
"He's got more speed than me ... wherever he wants to play. We'll make it work," Judge answered before being asked to provide one final message to Harper and Machado.
"I got nothing," he said. "Make the right choice. Wherever they want to go. Make it the right choice for your family."
Harper has received lukewarm interest from the Yankees this season, but has generated plenty of attention from the Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, and San Diego Padres.
The 26-year-old reportedly turned down a 10-year, $300-million offer from the Nationals in November.
