The first half of the MLB season did not disappoint thanks to Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and others. But this is where the real fun begins.

Almost immediately, Justin Turner could sense the bubbling frustration from Cal Raleigh. A veteran slugger with a World Series ring and an NL Championship Series MVP on his résumé, Turner arrived in Seattle just before the trade deadline in July 2024 and quickly began to form a connection with the Mariners catcher.

Aaron Judge may be in the middle of an American League MVP race with Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, but the New York Yankees star is still enjoying watching his counterpart play this season.
