Aaron Judge‘s individual and team goals took a massive hit this season. Despite his post-injury blasting performances, the New York Yankees‘ captain fell short of his aim to be the Home Run King again and reach the World Series. Had it not been for his multiple injuries that led him to miss over 50 games, Judge might have even bested his last season record. As far as the team’s performance is considered, everyone is raising their finger towards the management. And why not? For the first time in the last seven years, the mighty Yankees have missed the playoffs. Considering the failures this year, Judge wants to have some “quick fixes” in the clubhouse.

For a team like the Yankees, not making it to the playoffs is nothing but frustrating for their fans and players both. Acknowledging the same, captain Judge sat for an exclusive interview and shared his thoughts on some concerning issues.
