Aaron Judge delivers powerful statement with home run against Red Sox rookie who refuses to sign with Yankees

Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz discussed the Los Angeles Dodgers' dominant 18-2 victory over the New York Yankees.

Aaron Judge heard what Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins had to say about his New York Yankees. 

Instead of talking back, he let his bat do the talking on Sunday night. 

Before his Sunday start, Dobbins told the Boston Herald that he would rather retire than sign with the Yankees. Judge said before the game that he was "a little surprised" Dobbins, a lifelong Red Sox fan thanks to his die-hard father, made that comment.

Judge wasted no time getting back at Dobbins on the field, smashing a 97 mph fastball 436 feet to right-center field for a two-run home run. 

The ball exited Judge’s bat at 108.6 mph, and everyone in the Yankee Stadium crowd knew the tension that was already there with Dobbins’ comments making national headlines.

"I’ve only heard Ken Griffey say that, so I was a little surprised," Judge said of Dobbins' comments, via ESPN. 

He was referencing the Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who said he wouldn’t sign with the Yankees during his career after seeing how the franchise treated his father, Ken Griffey Sr., while he played for him. 

In the end, though, Dobbins and the Red Sox got the last laugh. Despite giving up those two runs in the first inning, Dobbins was solid against the Yankees lineup after that. He allowed one more earned run and four hits total over his five innings of work.
