The reality is they’re 10-21 in the last 31 with not much going right. Frankly, I don’t see much reason for optimism. The most optimistic thing I can give is Baltimore has been pretty meh at best in the same stretch and are 15-16 in their last 31. Also the Yankees were a defense play away from sweeping them in their own building. They lost today so the Yankees stay two back it really might come down to who makes the better trades.

Well, the Yankees do have options. In my opinion, with their record the past month, any player not named Judge, Cole, or Soto is tradable if a trade makes sense. |

They'd still need a 4th OF. Maybe they pick one up at the deadline or even get a struggling OFer back for Verdugo if it's a change of scenery trade. Probably won't happen but I was just wondering. Might be hard to trade him since he'd be a rental. If they could I wouldn't expect much in return. That said, I think he's just in a bad slump and will eventually get back on track. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. |

no cigar. HR ball bites us in the butt. gleyber's error led to a run and the usually reliable hill & weaver allowing HRs too much for our anemic offense to overcome. a couple base loaded opps early where some hard hit balls yielded nothing and too little too late. judge came close in the 9th but ultimately empty. while i think he needs some rehab starts, stanton's return important for this lineup. provides protection for judge and lengthens the lineup and hopefully takes some pressure off the other guys. 7-15 since he's been out. That was Cousins allowing the first of those two late HR’s, just for the record… |

There’s no assurance he’ll return and if we trade him away to get stronger at multiple positions, we COULD still sign him as a FA. It wouldn’t be unprecedented… |

This team is 59-42 2 games behind first place and has a good cushion on a playoff spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What's the concern ?? Gleyber plays like crap?? That's what he is doing now Do you think the Yankees will or should sign Gleyber after what he has done this season? Maybe you and I have been watching different games. As I've said, Gleyber has actually looked very good at 2B lately. It's his offense that's been the problem, although over the past month (20) games he's looked a lot better... .284 / .347 / .418 / .765. Whether the Yanks will/should make an effort to sign him will depend on his offensive production the rest of the year. If they do, it will/should be with the idea of moving him to 3B.Then why not find out if he could do it now? |

Evidently it hasn't sunken in with you...pointless to continue doing so. |

Oh ... so you think the Yankees should sign Gleyber to a long term deal after this season (guessing he will be loooking for a 4-6 years $80-100m) Coming off the worst Offensive season of his career Move him to a position that he has never played in the MLB And not have a proven backup plan at 2nd base Ok ... I guess? |
