“Aaron Judge is a Part of the Problem”: Yankees Star Blamed After Team’s Humiliating Exit From Playoff

WFAN radio host Tommy Lugauer criticized Aaron Judge following the New York Yankees' ALDS sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays, calling the captain "part of the problem." Lugauer argued that Judge is too comfortable with the team's environment and has failed to use his leadership leverage to push for manager Aaron Boone's removal amidst ongoing championship failures.

Judge was sidelined from the postseason roster after playing only 66 games during the regular season due to rib and calf injuries. Following the sweep, Judge voiced frustration with the front office, demanding they go "all-in" to address roster holes.
