When Judge spoke up in September, it was a revealing comment that showed the kind of power he wielded within the Yankees' ranks.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Before the decided on naming the starting shortstop coming out of spring training, he had unwavering support from , the team captain. Throughout the spring, Judge told reporters on multiple occasions how impressed he was with Volpe’s makeup considering he was only 21 at the time. He noted how Volpe was handling the pressure and expectations better than he did at that age. At one point, Judge even used the media as a conduit to deliver a pointed message to the front office.
He’s the most important player on the team and they have a $40 million per year commitment to him. They should listen to what he thinks some of the issues are inside the clubhouse, and they do. It’s partially why Boone is returning as manager next season, because Judge recommended it and believes in his ability. It’s partially why Eric Cressey, the team’s director of player health and performance, is still employed by the Yankees despite the team continuing to be a leader in injured list stints.
