The foundering Yankees called a players-only meeting this week, with Aaron Judge among those who spoke most forcefully. The slugger said there were topics on his mind that could not wait to be addressed, expressing confidence that his words would spur the team to better play in this weekend’s Subway Series.
And yet, at the official halfway point of the season, manager Aaron Boone’s comment spoke loudest: “Talk is cheap.”
Judge broke up a no-hit bid and shutout with his team-leading 19th homer, but it was too little, too late.
