Following being named American League MVP (Most Valuable Player) manager of New York the team that wears the pinstripes Aaron Boone had this to say about Aaron Judge!

Congratulations to Aaron on one of the greatest seasons in the history of our sport,”I’m grateful that I got to witness it firsthand and share in his magical year, especially given how much respect I have for him as a player and as a person. I hope he can reflect on his extraordinary individual accomplishments and the impact he had on his teammates every single day and use them as fuel for continued excellence in the years to come.”

Following being named American League MVP (Most Valuable Player) New York General Manager Brian Cashman had this to say about Aaron Judge!

He was incredible in every facet of the game in 2022, and put up a season that ranks with the very best of all time,”Aaron’s success was especially meaningful for our organization, as we’ve been able to watch him grow throughout his professional career into the player and leader he has become -- an offensive force in the batter’s box, a run preventer wherever we’ve put him in the field and someone who sets the tone in the clubhouse with his relentless commitment to winning. He has been our MVP for quite some time now, and this honor couldn’t be more deserved.”

Following Aaron Judge being named 2022 American League MVP (Most Valuable Player) Aaron Judge who is a free agent for the inaugural time in his MLB Career had this to say!

I was extremely nervous,“You’re going up against Yordan Alvarez, one of the top premier hitters in this game, and Shohei Ohtani is by far one of the best players on this planet. You never want to assume anything. Both of those guys had incredible years and it’s been fun competing with them over the years.”

“I was trying to grind out the year,”“I was focused on trying to win games for the Yankees and do whatever I can for that game tonight. It was tough to really enjoy it, because of the ups and downs throughout the year. You’re chasing the division, you’re chasing a good spot in the postseason. It wasn’t until the past couple of weeks where you can sit back, reflect on the year and see how good it was.”
