The Yankees brought back star slugger Aaron Judge in free agency but did not add a left fielder after Andrew Benintendi signed with the White Sox. That leaves a competition between Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera for the spot, but there might be an outside-the-box idea that the team is considering.
Manager Aaron Boone said he is considering playing Judge in left field to open up right field for Giancarlo Stanton when Stanton isn’t the designated hitter. As left field in Yankee Stadium is much bigger than right field, the team might prefer Judge to play there with Stanton manning right field.
In response, Judge said he is open to anything to get Stanton in the outfield.
