Yankees Historically Bad Year

The New York Yankees are playing .500 baseball this season, which for most teams would be a mediocre year, but by their standards it's historically bad. The Yankees haven't been under .500 at this point in the season since 1995, and they haven't finished a season under .500 since 1992. Do you place the blame on manager Aaron Boone or GM Brian Cashman? What changed does the team need to make this offseason in order to get back on track. We break down the Yankees' struggles and other news around MLB on today's episode.

Trade Deadline Questions

We're a little under two weeks away from the trade deadline, and there are a lot of questions that we're waiting to see get answered. Will the Cardinals deal their star sluggers after a disappointing season? Could Juan Soto be on the move at the deadline again? And the big one - will Shohei Ohtani be traded? The Angels are coming off a sweep of the Yankees and are back above .500, but they have a lot of ground to make up. If they keep winning over the next week, the decision to trade Ohtani or not will be a tough one. 

Tune in today as we break down all of these questions and more.
