David Wright understands at least some of the challenges ahead of Aaron Judge this season.
While the former Mets third baseman never set any home run records, he was named captain prior to the 2013 season, shortly after signing a huge deal to remain with the organization that drafted him.
Wright agreed to a seven-year, $138 million deal after finishing sixth in the National League MVP voting in 2012 and was having another excellent season in 2013 before a hamstring injury sidelined him for much of the second half. “It was devastating for me to not be able to go out there,” Wright said of the injuries. “You’re supposed to be the captain of the ship, and you’re not even on the ship.” Aaron Judge re-signed with the Yankees in the offseason for nine years and $360 million.“In his case, he’s one of the best in the game,’’ said Wright, who doesn’t know the Yankee outfielder but has admired him from afar.
