MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The New York Yankees formally re-introduced superstar outfielder Aaron Judge yesterday morning at Yankee Stadium, as the slugger officially re-signed with the team that drafted him. As part of those proceedings, Hal Steinbrenner made official what everybody anticipated when the news of his nine-year deal broke two weeks ago, naming Aaron Judge the 16th captain of the New York Yankees. “I was kind of lost for words,” the new captain said when asked about the honor, noting that Steinbrenner had first told him during their 3:00 am phone call in which the two hammered out the deal.
