On Tuesday night, the New York Yankees will open up a series with the Cleveland Guardians (at home) in the Bronx.
They are coming off a strong road trip where they won five out of six games over the Kansas City Royals and Athletics.
Aaron Judge Makes Feelings Clear On Yankees
After Sunday’s 13-8 win over the Athletics, Judge made his feelings clear about the current Yankees (via YES Network).
Judge: “There’s a couple things we need to clean up. Maybe a couple things defensively, or a couple times where like I said, our offense isn’t clicking the way it should be… I like where we’re at. I love this team. A lot of guys are ready to go out there and compete, and a lot of guys competing for a job, so when you do that, good things happen.”
Judge has had an up-and-down year.
That said, the 34-year-old is still batting .248 with 53 hits, 17 home runs, 38 RBI’s, 43 runs and five stolen bases in 59 games.
The three-time MVP is in his 11th MLB season (all with New York).
