Aaron Judge apparently has some beef with the son of a former Major League Baseball superstar.
Gary Sheffield Jr., the son of longtime MLB outfielder Gary Sheffield, revealed Friday that Judge had blocked him on X. What’s more Sheffield Jr. was not even certain why.

Sheffield Jr. assumed the block had something to do with a recent post of his about how Judge needed to be a more vocal leader. He also suggested that Judge “should spend more time getting this team over the hump than he is on Twitter blocking Yankees fans.”
I did nothing, actually.

Aaron Judge should spend more time getting this team over the hump than he is on Twitter blocking Yankees fans.
The younger Sheffield is a Yankee fan, and his father did play for the franchise from 2004 to 2006. He has previously opined about moves the organization should make, though there are plenty of social media users way more disrespectful than he has been. It’s not clear how much Judge even manages his own account or whether he made the decision to block Sheffield.
For now, Judge is not doing much of anything as he tries to rehab a rib injury. There is no timetable for his return, though he and the Yankees remain adamant that the star outfielder will return before the end of the season.
