Despite winning his second consecutive AL MVP award, New York
Yankees captain Aaron Judge was likely disappointed with the outcome of his team’s season. A 94-68 record led to an AL Wild Card berth, where New York dispatched their longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox, in three games. Then, an AL Division Series (ALDS) clash with the Toronto Blue Jays, who won a tiebreaker with the Bronx Bombers to capture the AL East. The Blue Jays defeated the Yanks in four games, leading to another early offseason for Judge. Despite the defeat, X (formerly Twitter) account Talkin’ Yanks reported that Judge
received votes in the recent race for New York City mayor.
