Yankees captain Aaron Judge might not have won the World Series in 2024, but he’s coming off another spectacular year. Judge appeared in his first World Series game and helped the Yankees win in crucial moments.
The slugger is grateful for his excellent performance and took to social media to share some throwback snaps. Surprisingly, Juan Soto was not included in any of Judge’s precious moments. Many speculate the captain had left Soto out since he picked the Mets over the Yankees.
Yankees fans took to social media to praise their captain for leaving out Soto in his 2024 throwback snaps and to express their appreciation for including Alex Verdugo over Soto.

Clarke Schmidt And Tyler Wade Respond To Aaron Judge’s 2024 Wrap-Up Post
Apart from Yankees fans praising Judge for leaving out Soto. His teammate Clarke Schmidt commented on his Instagram post, stating: “They weren’t ready!!” Judge’s former teammate Tyler Wade responded by saying, “Yessir!!”
It’s common for Judge to receive praise from several players. The Yankees captain has a huge reputation for his incredible performance. Judge is projected to have another strong season in 2025. When healthy, the Yankees skipper could easily smash close to 50 home runs in a regular season.
The Bronx Bombers will open their regular season with a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The team has added several free agents and is expected to pursue another left-handed pitcher.
