Aaron Judge re-signed with the Yankees last offseason even though he and the Bronx Bombers will be spectators when the playoffs begin.

The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays complete their three-game series on Thursday night at Rogers Centre.

"My understanding is no," Aaron Boone said. "I've kind of felt that way for a while. The belief is that it's gone about as well as it [could] since he's come back."

The 2023 season for the New York Yankees is drawing to a close, and the journey has felt more like a marathon than a sprint. Not witnessing the Yankees in the playoffs since 2016 usually signals changes in the front office.

It’s been exactly a year since Aaron Judge tied the American League home run record of 61 set by former New York Yankees slugger Roger Maris. Last Sept. 28 at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, Aaron Hicks opened the visitor’s seventh with a single and scored moments later when Judge hit homer No.
