Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton was pretty blunt when asked about this year's postseason: "We understand the weight of what we need to do. The importance of this time and bringing a championship to the city... the window won't be open forever." Captain Aaron Judge doesn't perceive the Yankees' task as pressure, calling it "the same games we've been playing all year." Both players talked abut the impact Juan Soto has had on the team's lineup with Judge adding, "he's the ultimate team player, the guy you want near the top of your lineup." Judge also touched on the Royals turnaround this season and knows the Yankees will have their hands full with a dynamic young opponent.
