After the Yankees’ elimination and the start of the postseason, many players take the opportunity to rest, go on vacation and try to stay out of the spotlight for a while to recharge their batteries. However, there are figures who will always be talked about even when they are not playing a game and this was the case of Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo, who were seen at a hockey game.
During the New York Rangers’ game against the Washington Capitals, Judge and Rizzo were seen sitting in the stands at Madison Square Garden and when they appeared on the stadium’s giant screen, they received a great ovation from the crowd, to which they both responded with a big smile and posed for the cameras.
Aaron Judge’s good performance that was not enough for the Yankees
Aaron Judge had a good season, but it was still not enough for the Yankees to keep moving forward. The player had a .331 batting average and 53 home runs. These are quite good numbers and reaffirm his important role in a team that despite having a great squad, did not meet expectations.
The Yankees managed to get into the MLB Divisional Series, but despite Judge’s performance, they ended up being eliminated and that generated a lot of criticism of the team. Despite the criticism, people continue to support Judge, who is a star and who apparently is opting for hockey to be able to forget the elimination of his team.
The Yankees are already planning for next season
After the elimination, New York is already thinking about the options available to renew the squad and there is one name that is on the list, but that the fans do not like very much. It is Kyle Tucker, who will be free after being with the Chicago Cubs and would be an option to join the Yankees.
The rumor of this arrival hit hard on social networks and many Yankees fans spoke out against it, describing the player as “overrated” and that they prefer to renew Cody Bellinger.
With the upcoming season in mind, the Yankees are looking for alternatives, while Judge takes advantage of distractions with other sports, but always being supported by the fans who recognize his contribution to the team.
