Now that Aaron Judge is coming back to the Yankees, the next question is whether he’ll be the team’s first captain since Derek Jeter.
, the next question regarding the reigning AL MVP is whether he’ll be the team’s first captain since Derek Jeter.Steinbrenner told the YES Network last month that making Judge the captain if he re-signed with the Yankees was “something we would consider.”
At various times during the season, teammates like Anthony Rizzo and Nestor Cortes endorsed the idea and general manager Brian Cashman did, as well, on Wednesday at the winter meetings. “Some people have already acted as if they’re the captain without a title,’’ Cashman said. “We’ve had a leader of our franchise already [in Judge]. If somebody at the owner’s level like Hal Steinbrenner wants to place the captaincy [on Judge], there’s no issues from my end. Aaron Judge has been a leader of this franchise in every way, shape and form.
“As far as I’m concerned, and I’m not the decision-maker on this, that captaincy should be retired with number 2,” Cashman said in 2015. “I wouldn’t give up another captain title to anybody else. … He was so good and so perfect for that.”“He was the all-time captain,’’ Cashman said of Jeter. “Certainly, I shared my feelings out of respect to Derek Jeter and the career he had and the legacy he left. I felt it was appropriate to state that I’m not sure if we ever need one again.
