Aaron Judge seeks upgrades before Yankees trade deadline

Injured New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is advocating for roster upgrades ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Judge, who recently watched the Yankees lose to the White Sox 6-5, emphasized the need for significant improvements, especially in pitching and offense. He mentioned potential targets, including Padres closer Mason Miller and a catcher, as the Yankees aim to bolster their playoff positioning. Despite Judge's absence due to a fractured rib, New York holds a 61-47 record and sits in the first American League wild-card spot. Judge continues to await medical clearance to resume baseball activities, expressing impatience about his recovery.
