The captain and outfielder of the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge, broke the silence and spoke about what he has in mind to achieve with the Mules for the 2024 Major League season, aspiring to return to the playoffs after a 2023 that ended in failure .
In words after his award as the winner of the Roberto Clemente award, Judge pointed out that everyone has to do their respective work, from the team players themselves to the managerial work led by Brian Cashman.
“We haven’t been to the big dance in quite a few years, so we have work to do. Especially on the player side, we have a lot of work to do. I hope to be able to return to the ‘promised land’ with some good players,” said the home run hitter.
He later indicated that it is in the offseason where he hopes the Yankees go out to the market and be aggressive, because that is when there are more options to get a good player.
“It’s a tough time, especially with the World Series going on, but during the offseason is when we’ll see the biggest moves,” he added.
Along the same lines, he knows that the Bronx board is moving the pieces to strengthen the team from now on and hopes that in the coming days a new addition will be made.
“We still have a lot of time, but I know they are busy working. Literally since our season ended, I know they’ve been working in Tampa. They are working hard and I hope to receive some updates,” she concluded.
Judge’s comments come amid a wave of rumors that the Yankees are in key negotiations for Dominican Juan Soto of the San Diego Padres.
According to information circulating on platforms such as 2025.
Likewise, other pieces such as the main candidate to win the National League Cy Young, Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery (once the World Series he competes with the Texas Rangers ends) and Cody Bellinger, would be attractive figures for the Yankees.
