In Game 2 against the Dodgers, the Yankees fell 4-1, with Judge finishing the night 0-for-4 and striking out three times. Ouch! As the cameras panned to the postgame show, Alex Rodriguez chimed in with some insights on how to get the Yankees’ captain back on track. Speaking alongside Hall of Famers David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, A-Rod shared some pearls of wisdom that left fans buzzing.

Aaron Judge is on the verge of clinching his second American League MVP award after a stellar regular season, but it seems the postseason has thrown him a curveball. Despite leading the Yankees to victory, Judge’s impact in the Fall Classic has been as quiet as a pin drop. The Bombers are now facing the possibility of going home empty-handed. Lets see what the Yankee old timer suggests.

Alex Rodriguez’s advice to shake up lineup

A-Rod has a bold strategy in mind for the Yankees as they find themselves in a bit of a pickle in the World Series. With the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a commanding 2-0 lead, Rodriguez believes it might be time for a shake-up in the batting order. He talks specifically switching Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. “Maybe you flip Soto and Judge,” Rodriguez said. “You try to activate and jump start Judge a little bit. You go (Gleyber) Torres, Judge, Soto. Sometimes you’re just desperate for runs, you’re just desperate to activate the big man,” he added.

Soto would bat after Judge, who would bat second under this new setup. Thereafter, opposition pitchers may feel pressured to send more hittable pitches to Judge in an effort to get him out. Judge could have more chances to connect and overcome his postseason slump as a result of this. We’ll have to see if this move can help the Yankees rally against the Dodgers and unleash the six-time MLB All-Star’s potential when the series moves to the Bronx. Is it possible for a strategic switch to ignite a flame underneath the captain?

Judge bags Player of the year award for the second time

At the MLB Players Choice Awards, Aaron Judge was chosen the American League’s Outstanding Player and the 2024 Player of the Year. This accolade is more significant since it shows how well-liked and respected he is across the league. This marks the second time the 32-year old has been given this prestigious award.

In Major League Baseball, the Players Choice Awards are a distinguished event that honors players’ outstanding abilities as determined by their peers via a secret ballot. Since its inception in 1992, the awards have undergone substantial change, first recognizing just Comeback Players before branching out to include Outstanding Players, Pitchers, Rookies, and other categories. You know what makes these awards unique?

Each award is not only a personal victory but also an opportunity to have a good influence on the community. The prize money given to the winners is donated to the organizations of their choosing. The Players Choice Awards reward players who demonstrate leadership and generosity on and off the field with the Marvin Miller Man of the Year in addition to the main categories. The results, which feature the finest in the game, are highly anticipated by fans every year!
