“A Wish of Mine” – New York Yankees Star Aaron Judge Settles Future Talk

Since joining the New York Yankees in 2017, Aaron Judge established himself as one of the iconic franchise’s best players. At just 29 years of age, Judge clearly has several years in the MLB ahead of him and looks likely to continue as one of the finest hitters in the game.

With the Yankees failing to taste major success since his arrival, many wonder what the future holds for the 29-year-old. Recently, he gave an encouraging update to fans of the widely popular MLB franchise.

Aaron Judge expresses desire to stay with the New York Yankees

The Yankees’ right fielder once again led from the front throughout the 2021 season. He scored 89 runs, of which 39 were home runs and recorded 98 RBI. With an OPS of .916, the 29-year-old won his second career Silver Slugger Award this year.

Although the Yankees left it late, they secured a wildcard spot in the postseason after Judge scored a crucial RBI in the final game of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays. However, they failed to beat the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wildcard them, leaving the Yankees to go through another season without reaching the World Series.

Despite their setbacks in recent years, Judge admitted he wants to stay with the Yankees. He said, “That would be a wish of mine, a goal of mine, to finish my career as a Yankee. If it was up to me, I would be a Yankee for the next 10 years, for sure.”

Can Judge win his maiden world series with the Yankees in 2022?

A few weeks back, the Yankees re-signed Aaron Boone as their manager, which drew mixed reactions from fans. However, the 27-time World Series champions have some of the finest talent in their squad including Judge, which augurs well for them.

In addition, they plan on setting a massive budget to fix certain weaknesses in their team. The most high-profile targets they have play as shortstops, with Carlos Correa and Corey Seager strongly linked to join the Yankees for the 2022 season. Whether they have a strong enough squad for next season, only time will tell.
