Story summary

Aaron Judge, the Yankees' captain and three-time MVP, suggested during an interview that the team should spend more money to improve their roster after being swept by the Rays in the division series. This comment reportedly upset one or two high-ranking Yankees executives who found it presumptuous for a player to advise management on financial decisions, especially given the team's $320M payroll. However, Judge defended his stance, emphasizing that he signed with the Yankees to compete for championships and believes the team should “go all in” every year. Despite the temporary tension, sources indicate that Judge’s strong rapport with the Yankees’ leadership will likely mitigate any lasting issues.
