With the entire New York Yankees squad assembled in Tampa, every day is a new adventure for the energy-filled roster led by Aaron Judge. Judge, who’s already coming out of an extremely entertaining and eventful offseason, is approaching a new journey in Pinstripes, as he stands at the helm. Without any doubt, Judge is immensely respected by all his teammates. But at the same time, despite being a senior player, the 2022 AL MVP doesn’t shy away from banter.

The New York Yankees rookie and upcoming utility star Oswaldo Cabrera, who’s slowly growing into a Big Apple staple, shines at multiple positions, including his social media. He most recently compared his captain to the likes of the great Usain Bolt. While the comparison was undoubtedly bold and improbable to the largest extent, it showcased how hard the Yankees captain is working.

The New York Yankees and their outfield dilemma

Presently, the possible outfielders in the Pinstripes include Oswaldo Cabrera, Aaron Hicks, Harrison Bader, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton. However, their biggest weak link is Aaron Hicks in left field. If recent rumors are to be believed, and Aaron Judge makes the bold decision to shift to left field, the Yankees may have all their bases covered ahead of the 2023 season.
