It has been a while since the New York Yankees last won a World Series. The Bronx Bombers' search for their first MLB title since 2009 continues after the Toronto Blue Jays showed Aaron Judge and company the door in the 2025 American League Division Series.

The Blue Jays, who went on to represent the AL in the 2025 World Series, eliminated the Yankees in just five games in the series, with Judge seeing another incredible individual season circle down the drain.

Nevertheless, there is no denying that Judge’s 2025 season was something to remember for a long time. For one, he won the AL Most Valuable Player Award for a third time.

On Monday, the seven-time All-Star expressed his excitement for what's ahead for him and the Yankees via a social media post on Instagram.

"2025-The job still isn’t finished. Excited to get back to work in front of the greatest fans in the world. Thank you for all the support along the way!" the 33-year-old Judge wrote as a caption for a series of photos, including where he's with his family.

Judge's post turned a lot of heads and earned countless responses from his followers and fans online. Among those who left a comment were the Yankees.

"Let’s go, Captain ," New York's comment read.

Judge is easily one of the best players of his generation and is already considered an all-time great. His resume nearly has it all.

Nearly.

One glaring honor still missing from his baseball career is a World Series title, which he came close to winning in 2024, when the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in that year's Fall Classic.

On his way to winning his third MVP trophy, Judge hit .331/.457/.688 with a 215 OPS+, 53 home runs and 114 RBIs while posting a 9.7 bWAR. Over the last two seasons, Judge has slashed .326/.457/.695 with a 220 OPS+ and 20.5 bWAR through 310 games.
