“Probably wouldn't necessarily go that route" – Yankees manager Aaron Boone shoots down idea of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto batting at top of the order

The New York Yankees have been one of the top teams this season thanks mainly to the near-superhero performances from Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. Arguably two of the top five players in the MLB, Soto and Judge have placed the team on their backs at times in order to remain in the postseason picture.

Unfortunately for Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, the pair has struggled to receive additional support for long stretches. The New York Yankees have had difficulties with the supporting cast around their two superstars. Some of the team's young players have been adjusting to the MLB level, whereas some of their veterans such as DJ LeMahieu and Anthony Rizzo might no longer be everyday MLB starters.

The lack of production has left some wondering if New York should consider placing Judge and Soto at the top of the lineup to bat first and second. Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed the idea but ultimately doesn't believe it is a viable option.

"I think about it every now and then," Boone told reporters on Wednesday.

"Probably wouldn't necessarily go that route," he continued, somewhat dampening the notion. However, he did leave Yankees fans and media member with a taste nugget to salivate over by adding "Never say never," at the end of his response.

The superstar duo of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto has been spectacular this year for New York, racking up a combined 69 home runs and 181 RBIs. If the team can get some additional support from some of their other stars such as Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Volpe, they could be a force to be reckoned with in the postseason.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been a much needed spark for the New York Yankees

While New York's coaching staff will hope to see some of its roster turn things around before the postseason, the team's front office made a potentially major move at the trade deadline to help them out. General Manager Brian Cashman landed the dynamic Bahamian Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins in exchange for a package of prospects.

Although there have been some questions about Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s consistency in the majors, the 26-year-old has emerged like a knight in shining armor for New York following the trade. Through seven games with the team so far, Jazz has four home runs, eight RBIs and .300 batting average.
