New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge says the team is struggling with a “lack of focus,” offering a pointed assessment amid a recent losing streak. After the Yankees dropped a 6-2 decision to the Detroit Tigers in 11 innings in the Bronx, the criticism around the team’s approach continued to grow. Multiple outlets report that Judge made the comment during a period when the Yankees’ results worsened, extending the streak to seven losses at that point. Yardbarker and the New York Post both describe Judge’s remarks as raising concern, while The Athletic adds that Judge has already discussed the issue with some players. According to The Athletic, Judge says the organization will address the matter with a larger group “soon,” framing the next step as a broader conversation rather than a one-on-one discussion. Across coverage, the core theme is that Judge attributes part of the team’s difficulties to attention and execution rather than individual performance, and he indicates additional team-wide communication is forthcoming.
