With the benefit of hindsight, Strawberry is uniquely positioned to talk about Judge and playing in The Bronx, where he played the final five seasons of his career. Judge, a Northern California native, was the No. 1 target for the Giants, for whom he grew up rooting. The Padres also were involved in the bidding during a drawn-out process this winter that did not end until Dec. 7, when Judge essentially agreed to spend his entire career with the club that raised him.
As Judge visited other clubs, a lot of attention was paid to a Yankee Stadium crowd that had turned on its best player and demanded excellence from the Yankees, who were swept by the Astros in the ALCS.“Being booed is not a bad thing. Everyone makes it out like it’s a bad thing. Some players can’t take it,” said Strawberry, who said he has not talked with Judge this offseason. “But they’re going to pay you to play in the best place, and they’re going to pay you a lot.
