In the offseason, Aaron Judge received a text from a number claiming to be Juan Soto, leading him to verify through social media. Despite earlier attempts to reach out to Soto during free agency, Judge's messages went unanswered due to Soto changing his number. The two have transitioned from sharing an outfield together to competing as rivals in the league, highlighting their evolving relationship and the nature of professional sports camaraderie amidst competition.
"The text message arrived on Aaron Judge's phone from a random number this offseason. It claimed to be from Juan Soto, but Judge figured someone might be messing with him."
"Judge had tried to reach out to Soto earlier in the winter, when all eyes were on his looming massive payday in free agency, though he did not hear back because his former teammate had changed numbers."
