The 2023 season has been a wild ride for the New York Yankees. The 27 World Series champions still need to perform, languishing last in the AL East. And apart from Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole, no one else is playing for the team. Shockingly, even after two months of absence, Judge is proving himself to be the best offensive player on the team. The same goes for Cole, who has pitched and is pitching like an alone warrior. However, the recent scenes from the stands have raised doubts among the fans regarding the team’s future.
Because of this, Judge and Cole are the best players and hold a lot of worth for the Yankees. So do their words in the dugout. Fans tried to intercept the messages when the two engaged in a serious discussion in the dugout. Although they failed to get it, many synced their frustration with the two stars and shared a few of the most interesting takes on social media.
