Judge gave three names when discussing X-factors for this year's team. Those X-factors included Jazz Chisholm , Austin Wells , and Ryan McMahon .
When the Yankees acquired Chisholm from the Miami Marlins , it gave them a new burst of energy in a lineup that was mostly power bats. Judge pointed out that Chisolm had a great first year with the Yankees, hitting 31 home runs and stealing 31 baes. Additionally, he noted that this is a free agent season, and that might motivate him to take the next step.
The Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon last season from the Colorado Rockies . Judge praised his glove but also indicated that there was potential for McMahon to hit well for the team this season. Ultimately, he believed that the third baseman could evolve while playing at Yankee Stadium and be one of the better bats in this lineup.
