MLB phenom Aaron Judge became the American League’s Most Valuable Player last night, becoming the 14th Yankee to win the prestigious award. The outfielder capped the historic season by winning the AL MVP over Shohei Ohtani and Yordan Alvarez. With the tremendous season that Judge had this year, the award was long awaited for all those 62 home runs he hit during the 2022 regular season.

Although Judge is getting praise from the entire MLB world, getting appreciation from the noted Yankees legends Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter is not everyone’s cup of tea. Notably, both former athletes have had decades-long careers in Major League Baseball and have achieved multiple honors in their illustrious careers. 

But now it is time for Aaron Judge to shine, and he is taking it all in the calmest way possible. And the forever icons are respectfully giving good wishes and congratulating him for this incredible feat he achieved this year. 

Aaron Judge made it all come true!

A couple of months before this season had started, Judge had predicted hitting 50 homers for the second time this year. Not only did he fulfill the prediction, but he also did it before the month of August. But he was not stopping there. He ended up hitting 12 more home runs and broke the legendary Roger Maris; AL record. 

Then, after the World Series ended, he rightfully claimed the crown of the American League’s Most Valuable Player. Notably, this is something that not only Judge but the Yankees fans also would have wanted. The former Yankees, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter did not shy away from congratulating Judge. Both ex-athletes took to their Instagram stories to congratulate the outfielder for the achievement that he earned.

Rodriguez and Jeter showed that athletes will always stand up for other athletes. For every achievement that any of them will ever prevail, their fellow athletes will never leave their back.

Judge is now a free agent!

Before this year’s season started, Judge got an offer from the Yankees of $213.5 million for 7 seven years. Which the outfielder respectfully declined. And now, after a blasting season, the AL MVP is in the driver’s seat to get his desired contract.
