Oswaldo Cabrera hails Aaron Judge, calls him "the King of New York"
New York Yankees rising star Oswaldo Cabrera recently shared a sweet post on Instagram that won the hearts of fans. Cabrera hailed Yankees captain Aaron Judge as the "king of New York."
Cabrera is a new Yankees talent who has been making waves with his performances. Originally from Guarenas, Venezuela, he signed a deal with the Yankees in 2015 when he was only 16 years old.
He officially started his major league career in April 2022 as a third baseman. He played 47 games in the 2022 season with a batting average of .247.
Earlier this week, Cabrera took to Instagram to showcase his camaraderie with Yankees captain Aaron Judge. He posted a picture of them amidst a handshake and hailed Judge as the 'King of New York'. At the same time, Cabrera also poked fun at former New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.
"Look Look...With the king of NY (not Melo)," Cabrera captioned the post.
Aaron Judge replied to the post and declared Cabrera his brother.
"My brother!!" Aaron Judge said.
It seems that Judge has taken the younger man under his wing. Judge and Cabrera have developed a sweet bond that fans would love to see more of.
Oswaldo Cabrera talks about working as a catcher
In an interview with The Athletic reporter Chris Kirschner, Oswaldo Cabrera revealed that he might try to be a catcher.
The utility player is already versatile and has played the position of third baseman, shortstop, second baseman, and right fielder.
Oswaldo Cabrera told me that next offseason he wants to work a little bit at catcher so the Yankees can have another option in case of emergency.
Also, if he ever pitches, he said he’s a submariner lol
