His OPS of 1.401 is the highest by a player in a month since Shohei Ohtani in June 2023. Judge's bat has carried the Yankees at times. This spring, including on March 29, when he smacked three home runs and a double, while bringing in eight runs against the Milwaukee Brewers. His leadership and steadiness will be crucial as the New York Yankees take on the Dodgers in a rematch filled with hype. Aaron Boone addresses trade rumors amid team dynamics While the team is getting ready, manager Aaron Boone discussed trade rumors, specifically pitcher Marcus Stroman. Boone highlighted Stroman's importance to the team: "The fact of the matter is he could be our No. 1 starting pitcher this year.' Despite a full rotation with aces like Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, and Carlos Rodón, Boone's comments point to prioritizing a deep, happy pitching staff. The front office has reasserted its faith in Boone, as General Manager Brian Cashman has said he has soothed the stresses of managing in New York. ' He's done a great job, but it's a very difficult job at the same time,'' Cashman said. The positive development is welcome news as the team aims to continue its recent success and address some areas for improvement.
