Listen, the Yankees and the Rays are probably two, maybe the only two teams in the American League.
Let's see if Seattle can keep up this surge.
They have a claim to be a good baseball team.
So you're probably not shooting for the AL East division title this year.
But yeah, could you win the wildcard spot?
Yeah, it's very, very available right now.
They have just as good a shot as anybody, especially as they are starting to get players back healthy.
Yeah, a lot better than they were the last time Judge missed time.
You know, when he had the toe injury, and that kind of tanked the Yankees' season that year.
This year, it's not the same situation.
Ben Rice has actually been better than Judge, if you look at the numbers.
He has produced at a higher level than Judge.
So they're technically not even losing their best hitter, which is a silly thing to say, but...
Cody Bellinger has looked really, really good this year.
He's really had a breakout season, looking like his old self.
So there's more depth in the lineup, and I think that they are better equipped to handle the loss of Aaron Judge.
Listen, you don't ever want to lose Aaron Judge.
It's not like you sort of laugh it off and go, oh, no big deal.
But I think they're...
deeper team this year.
