NEW YORK - There is a new captain in pinstripes.
The Yankees announced Aaron Judge as the new captain of the team on Wednesday in a press conference announcing his new nine-year, $360 million contract. Judge becomes the 16th captain in team history, the first since Derek Jeter, who held the title from 2003 through 2014.
"This is an incredible honor that I don't take lightly," said the 30-year-old slugger.
