Aaron Judge Celebrates 24-Year-Old “Brother” as He Bestows the ‘King of New York’ Tag on the Yankees Captain

The New York Yankees outfield is a topic of constant conversation, from the power duo of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton to the up-and-coming talents like Franchy Cordero and Oswaldo Cabrera, and even the lesser-known Aaron Hicks. However, out in the field, these outfielders are experiencing their own enjoyable moments and forming friendships that are incredibly strong.

As veterans, Judge and Stanton have always shared a strong bond. However, the Yankees’ captain is now developing a soft spot for the 24-year-old utility star, Oswaldo Cabrera, who often finds himself in the outfield. Recently, Cabrera took to Instagram to give a special shoutout to the team’s leader, referring to Judge as the “king.”

Oswaldo Cabrera officially announces Judge as the king of New York

While snubbing New York Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony, and making a reference to rapper Pop Smoke, Cabrera announce Judge as the ‘king of New York’ in the caption of his post featuring the outfielders in their element. “Look, look…With the king of NY (not Melo),” said the caption of the post.

The 2022 American League MVP, who is a favorite and very respected member of his team, responded to the post by calling the Venezuelan-born star “My brother!!”

TalkinYanks, and the rest of the comments section, shared the same emotion. “We LOVE this duo,” commented TalkinYanks. Other comments too, included happy reactions of the two outfielders sharing a wholesome moment: “The present and the future. Truly great work by the front office creating a youth movement long before we can fall out of contention,” “The King of NY and Aaron Judge,” and “Two studs,” “Game recognizes game,” “Two absolute icons.”

Can the New York King Aaron Judge top his record from 2022?

After smashing 62 homers and breaking Roger Maris’ record from 1961, Aaron Judge was named the AL MVP without much debate. However, after signing a whopping $360 million contract with the Yanks, and being named their captain, will Judge be able to repeat the feat in the 2023 season? Up until now, in 56 at-bats, Judge has smashed five homers and batted eight runs in with 16 hits at 0.286.

Do you think the 2022 American League MVP can repeat his feat and smash 62 homers again in 2023? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
