New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge makes pointed comments about the team’s performance, saying the club shows “lack of focus.” According to reports, Judge has discussed the issue with unnamed teammates and described the recent stretch of play as “not great,” pointing to a losing streak that has reached seven games. One specific reference mentioned by outlets is a 6-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers in 11 innings at Yankee Stadium.
Judge also indicates that the organization plans to address the issue more broadly. He says he has already spoken with some players and that the Yankees will be speaking “with a bigger group” soon, suggesting further team or club discussions are planned to address the problems he identifies.
Overall, the reports focus on Judge’s rare public criticism of the team’s attention and execution, along with his claim that additional conversations involving more players are forthcoming.
