The New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge accepted the blame for the team’s MLB difficulties and urged cooperation and confidence in their present line-up. Judge emphasised the value of cooperating and making the most of their current talent despite a challenging 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Judge himself had problems. He missed nearly two months this season owing to a toe injury sustained in early June.
Unfortunately, Judge hasn’t been able to match his earlier scorching form in the two games since his comeback.
He obviously needs more time to get back to performing at his best.
The fans are eagerly waiting for him to return to form because so much depends on him, and he is not likely to disappoint them. The captain can be counted on to rally again.
No major Yankees trade with Aaron Judge back in action
The Yankees front office has not brought in any major reinforcements, hesitating between buying and selling as the trade deadline drew near, only making minor league transactions.
Just hours before the deadline, the Yankees acquired minor league reliever Keynan Middleton from the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Spencer Howard from the Texas Rangers in exchange for Juan Carela, another minor league talent, and cash considerations.
However, with Aaron Judge back in action, the Yankees have a chance to show their potential with the considerable players they already have on their roster.
Judge spoke about the talent they already have when some reporters asked him about the team not making any major trades.
He skilfully skirted the question by focusing on the team’s present line-up and their shared need for better performance, taking responsibility and making atonement for their lapses.
“It’s on us as players. We’re fully capable with the guys we’ve got in this room to go out there and compete on a daily basis,” said Judge, according to an article from sportskeeda.com.
