Walk years are always the most intense for both the player and the team. One can imagine just how big that stress is when the player is Juan Soto and the team is the New York Yankees. While both of them have made it clear that their chief focus is to make 2024 the best year for the Pinstripes, there will always be ramblings about Soto’s impending free agency. Now Yankees captain Aaron Judge has made it known what he’ll do to convince the Childish Bambino to remain in the Bronx. 

Ever since his trade, the Yankees have made it a point to celebrate the arrival of Juan Soto. The “generational” talent, too, seems eager to play in front of the Bronx faithful. All Rise knows this and is prepared to make a good case for the Yankees against Soto.

Aaron Judge looks to use his experience with Juan Soto

Aaron Judge talked to reporters on Tuesday. As reported by SNY, while talking about the team’s strategy, things inadvertently shifted to Juan Soto. On being asked what he’ll do to convince Soto, Judge shared that he’ll do what the Yankees did with him during his walk year—show him some support. 

“The biggest thing is being there for him. Being a good teammate, supporting him. Know that there’s going to be quite a lot of pressure, there’s going to be a lot of expectations and just understanding that you don’t have to do it all by yourself. That’s the biggest thing I got from all of my teammates – you don’t have to carry the team every single night.” Aaron Judge shared.
