New York Yankees are trying to compete for a World Series and their captain Aaron Judge will be critical to that during this season. Judge was named the Yankees captain this off-season in addition to being given a new $360 million contract. This was a recognition of his ability, leadership role, and commitment to the franchise.

Judge arrived for Spring Training early this year along with several other Yankee players. This was in order to have more time to prepare for the season. Although Judge shares a good relationship with every Yankee teammate, Giancarlo Stanton is someone he shares a special bond with. Notably, when the two play together in the ballparks, they mean serious business against any opponent. And now when the new season is about to begin in a month, the Yankees captain jokingly teased his partner in crime.
