Aaron Judge's third MVP trophy in a New York Yankees uniform has people wondering where he'll rank among Yankees greats when it's all said and done. Judge is already tied for the most MVPs in franchise history (with Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Joe DiMaggio), and he's still only 33 years old with six years remaining on his Yankees deal. MLB Network's Harold Reynolds recently said that Judge will "absolutely" finish his career as a top five Yankee of all time, which stirred up some delicious conversations.
Judge's elite production and future Hall of Fame status is officially beyond questioning, but there are two gigantic factors — unique to the Yankees franchise — that place Judge’s potential top-five status in serious doubt.
