Chris McMonigle dives into a frustrating series against the Dodgers, breaking down the atrocious state of the Yankees' offense, expressing major concerns over a disappointing injury update on Aaron Judge and the severe struggles of Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, Chris insists the front office must prioritize a new starting shortstop and outlines his ultimate wish list, including Rafael Devers and Mason Miller. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:40 - The Elephant in the Room: The Yankees' offense is absolutely awful right now. 3:00 - A deep dive into the offensive black hole at the bottom of the lineup. Chris highlights the struggles of Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, noting that a starting infield with only one above-average hitter is unacceptable. 10:40 - The Aaron Judge Update: Chris expresses his disappointment over the latest medical update on Aaron Judge, noting that going from "sharp pain" to "dull pain" in six weeks without resuming baseball activities is a massive concern. 15:45 - Game 1 Recap & Gerrit Cole: Despite the offense only scraping together one run on an error and a wild pitch, Gerrit Cole provided a major bright spot with swing-and-miss stuff after some rough outings of late. 23:45 - Defending Boone & Grisham: Chris pushes back against fans criticizing manager Aaron Boone for leaving Cole in too long. He also defends Trent Grisham getting thrown out at the plate, attributing it to a bad base-running read rather than a lack of hustle. 43:00 - Game 3 Bullpen Heroics: A breakdown of the much-needed series finale victory, but Chris had to vent about a frustrating fifth-inning bases-loaded jam. 59:00 - Trade Deadline Wishlist: Chris demands that Brian Cashman prioritize a new shortstop. He also tosses out bold trade targets to save the season, including Rafael Devers, Luis Arraez, and Mason Miller. 1:09:20 - Shill or Shame: Reliever David Bednar earns the "Shill" for his shutdown performance out of the bullpen, while the recently demoted Jake Bird gets handed the "Shame." 1:14:00 - Silver Linings in the Standings: Despite the offensive woes and losing the series, Chris notes that the Yankees actually gained a game and a half on the slumping Tampa Bay Rays, keeping their division title hopes very much alive.

Should the Yankees make a blockbuster move for Rafael Devers?

Plus, Chris breaks down why the Yankees' win over the Rays was so important, why the AL is still there for the taking, and why standing pat at the deadline would be a massive mistake.
