The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: The Yankees didn’t just recognize Aaron Judge’s preternatural skills on the diamond this past offseason when they signed him to his monstrous contract. They also identified Judge’s inherent leadership abilities when they named him Captain. In this piece, Kuty goes back to spring training and relays an anecdote. Judge, understanding how important it is for everyone to feel like a valued member of the team, went out of his way to do something nice for super-prospect Jasson Domínguez, who was extremely appreciative. In a lost season, a nice story and one that reinforces Judge’s leadership skills, something that could loom large as the next wave of Yankee youngsters arrive.
