## Resource

The Yankees say that their Captain Aaron Judge will not be playing in the Wild Card Series. Aaron Judge has other thoughts. It is totally understandable why Judge wants to play. The Yankees front office need to make the right decision for a New York squad that could easily make the World Series without Judge. Sully takes a look at the Yankees path to the World Series plus how a few mediocre months could have turned Seattle and Sacramento into pennant contenders.
