With New York Yankees megastar Aaron Judge officially bagging his third American League MVP trophy, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman felt the need to release a statement. The Yankees' social media pages published that statement on the morning of Nov. 14 (alongside one from Yanks manager Aaron Boone), and it led to plenty of sighs and cackles from the fan base.
In a nine-line tribute to Judge that can be described as soulless, sentimental drivel (and may very well have been A.I.-generated), Cashman's official statement revolved around recycled, stale concepts like "rarefied air" and "once-in-a-generation player" to communicate absolutely nothing new or meaningful.
