Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge are two of the most notable stars in all of baseball.
Both players are 2026 MLB All-Stars, but Judge has been out with an injury since May 31.
At his recent media availability on Monday, Harper made an honest statement about Judge (h/t SNY Yankees).
Reporter: “What’s one player in MLB history you’d want to play with, and why?”
Harper: “I’d like to play with Aaron Judge… I was able to play with him in the WBC, and it was just a lot fun, we had a blast… I would say Aaron Judge as of right now.”

Looking At Judge
Judge is in the middle of his 11th MLB season (all with the Yankees).
Before getting hurt, the three-time MVP had been batting .248 with 53 hits, 17 home runs, 38 RBIs, 43 runs and five stolen bases in 59 games.
MLB.com wrote (on July 9): “Set for reimaging during All-Star break, which could show enough healing to increase activities. Judge has been performing lower-body exercises and weight-room work.”
While Judge is a surefire Hall of Famer, he is still missing a World Series title.
The Yankees are currently the second-place team in the American League East with a 54-42 record in 96 games.
