The New York Yankees are entering a pivotal stretch of their season. With the MLB trade deadline looming next week, the team has already made a major move—acquiring Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon in exchange for two prospects.

New York Yankees two-time MVP Aaron Judge is on the injured list, and according to some Yankee-watchers, the Yankees manager bears responsibility.

According to Max Goodman, who covers the Yankees, Boone essentially enabled an injured Judge to stay in Friday’s game. He knew Judge wasn’t going to be able to throw hard and he knew it would be a liability. What he didn’t take into account is if the injury would be detrimental to the season.
