The bond Judge and Rizzo formed in 2022 was impossible to miss.
free agent target were undeniably close this season. The two became good friends throughout the course of 2022 as they were neighbors in the locker room and in the team batting order..
Shortly after that prediction, Rizzo went on to hit three homers in a late April game against the Orioles. His third came on a ball that looked to be foul at first, but ultimately curled back inside the foul pole and soared right above the 314 sign. Judge was seen shouting at Rizzo,"I told you!" in the dugout afterwards.
Rizzo had already made his pitch through reporters for the Yankees to do what it takes to keep Judge following the Yankees' ALCS exit against the Houston Astros in October. Hethat Judge"single-handedly won us at least 40 games this year" — if you do the math, that means they would have been a last-place team without Judge — and that"he should be rewarded as the highest-paid player in the game.
"He deserves every single thing that's coming to him, and I hope it's in a Yankee uniform for him and for the game for baseball in general," Rizzo said, per."We're seeing people jump ship so much that I think especially with this uniform on from just being a fan, I think the fitting thing for him to be doing is a press conference [at Yankee Stadium] and receiving not only the money that he deserves, but also the captain title that comes with it.
In general, there’s reportedly growing confidence from the Yankees in their ability to bring back Judge. Ownerhe’s had"positive" conversations with the outfielder since the end of the season and that Judge"means a lot to this organization and I’ve made it clear to him we’re going to do everything we can to make that happen."
