Yankees News

Aaron Judge is stirring the pot with his desire to play in the Wild Card Series, challenging Aaron Boone's plans, but the bigger news is the Yankees' recent offensive explosion, highlighted by Ben Rice tying for the AL lead in home runs. After a dominant 9-2 victory over the Rays, where Gerrit Cole notched his tenth win of the season, it’s clear the Yankees are finding their groove as they prepare for postseason play. Despite a mixed bag of results over the past week, including a 3-4 record, the team's +4 run differential suggests they’re capable of more. With the Rays now clinching the AL East, the pressure is on the Yankees to solidify their playoff roster and strategy. Fans are left to wonder if Judge's desire to fight for a spot will complicate Boone's plans.
