New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has made his stance clear: the team should go all-in on signing superstar Juan Soto in free agency. Speaking during a recent offseason event, Judge expressed his admiration for Soto’s talent and emphasized the impact the 26-year-old slugger could have on the Yankees’ lineup.
“Juan is one of the best players in the game right now,” Judge said. “His ability to get on base, hit for power, and deliver in big moments speaks for itself. Adding a guy like that could be a game-changer for us.”
The Yankees have already been linked to Soto, who is expected to command a record-breaking contract north of $600 million. Judge’s comments highlight the urgency within the organization to bolster their roster after a disappointing 2024 season. Pairing Soto’s left-handed bat with Judge’s power could provide the balance the Yankees’ offense has lacked in recent years.
As free agency unfolds, the pressure is on the Yankees’ front office to deliver. With Judge publicly backing a Soto pursuit, the team appears poised to make a serious push for the generational talent and reignite their championship aspirations.
