The New York Yankees’ World Series drought continues after the club got eliminated by the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Yankees haven’t won a World Series since 2009, despite having arguably the best hitter in the sport, Aaron Judge, since 2016.

Granted, the Yankees were without Judge in the playoffs this year, as he is dealing with a calf strain. He also missed most the season with a rib fracture.

Following Wednesday’s 4-3 loss to the Rays, Judge sent a clear message to the Yankees’ front office.

Aaron Judge was asked how he wants the Yankees’ front office to respond to another year of falling short of a title:

“We’re the Yankees. I feel like they should go all-in and do what they need to do. If we’ve got holes, if it’s finding certain players or personnel, whatever we need, you got to go out there and get it.”

Aaron Judge was asked if he thinks the Yankees’ front office has gone all-in enough:

“It’s tough to say. I want to trade for everybody, sign everybody every single year, but I know that’s not realistic. They give us a winning team every single year, but that’s not good enough here in New York. We’re the Yankees. You’ve got to go out there and expect championships and go all-in every year. I’m excited to see what they do.”
