Aaron Judge Reacts To 5-Year Yankees Teammate Retiring
Ahead of their series with the Red Sox, a former Yankees player announced his retirement from baseball.
Tyler Wade wrote (via Instagram): “Dear baseball, For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to play in the Major Leagues. Now, 13 years later and after 9 years in the big leagues, it’s time to close this chapter. I want to thank the @yankees for taking a chance on an 18-year-old kid and giving me the opportunity to live out my dream of playing for the best franchise in all of sports. To everyone in the @padres organization, the staff, the fans, thank you. I loved every minute of my two years wearing the brown and gold! @angels and @athletics , you were also a huge part of my journey, and I’m grateful for every experience along the way. To all the coaches, staff, trainers, and fans who played a part in my career, thank you. And lastly, to all my teammates: I’m going to miss the grind, the competition, the clubhouse and being in the jungle every day with the guys. Thank you, baseball. You gave me more than I could have ever dreamed of.”
One person to react to Wade’s post was Yankees superstar Aaron Judge.
He was teammates with Wade for five seasons.
Judge wrote (via his Instagram story): “What a ride brother! From the 1st run to the last! 👊”
