By now, though, you've probably heard that it's actually Soto who misses Judge. This is from-the-horse's-mouth stuff, as the first-year Met caused a minor firestorm when he lamented to Mike Puma of the New York Post that things were better for him when he had "the best hitter in baseball" looming in the on-deck circle.

"Right now, he's like Tony Gwynn," Carlos Rodón said of Judge. "Next week, he'll probably be like Hank Aaron."
