Yankees need this version of Aaron Judge to stay
NY Post
The mandate for being the face of your team is to carry it when it needs to be carried. And this is that time for Aaron Judge. This is that time for the Yankees.
There would be no Gleyber Torres (COVID-19 quarantine) again on Saturday night against the Orioles, no Giancarlo Stanton (quad) … and now, no Aaron Hicks (torn tendon sheath, injured list) with wrist surgery on the table that could be season-ending. There have been too many times over the years when Judge has not been available, times when Yankees fans have wondered whether he will ever stay on the field long enough and often enough to replicate his monster 2017 rookie season. Or whether he will be so star-crossed that the jury on his greatness might be out even in The Judge’s Chambers.More Related News
