Once again, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge will skip the Home Run Derby this year, he told reporters Thursday. Judge won the Home Run Derby in 2017, his rookie year, and has not participated in it since. "Nope. Same answer," Judge told Newsday when asked about the Home Run Derby on Thursday. "Only if I'm talking about it here [in New York]."

According to The New York Post in a story published Wednesday, Judge was given the pendant by designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who wanted “nothing too big, something he can wear during the game,” jeweler AJ Machado of AJ’s Jewelry in Miami told the outlet.
