Is There Anything Aaron Boone Can Do to Get Fired by Yankees?
The Yankees just wrapped up a brutal 1–6 road trip in Toronto, and it’s becoming harder to defend Aaron Boone’s leadership. Between Anthony Volpe’s latest error, four official miscues, and a defense that looked completely disjointed, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante ask the question that’s on every Yankees fan’s mind: Is there anything Aaron Boone can actually do to get fired? With Ken Rosenthal publicly questioning whether Boone holds players accountable and the Yankees playing their sloppiest baseball of the year, the pressure is clearly mounting.Plus, the guys react to Max Fried’s blister scare, what it means for the Yankees’ trade plans, and whether the Cardinals are seriously scouting Griffin Herring in a potential Ryan Helsley deal. They also break down Jack Curry shutting down the Eugenio Suarez rumor, and who might be better fits like Ryan McMahon, Ke’Bryan Hayes, or Willi Castro. Could a trade even go down live on air? Tune in!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://go.happinessexperiment.com/begin-aff-o2?am_id=podcast2025&utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=michael--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4kNVfs5de5BNUY55hEiIAFollow Thomas: https://twitter.com/TOMMYS_TAKESFollow Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinrib Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The Yankees closed out their series against the Braves with a clean 4–2 victory behind a strong Marcus Stroman outing—his fourth consecutive solid start since returning to the rotation. Adam and Thomas react to the win and what it means for the rotation going forward, especially with Will Warren continuing to struggle. They also discuss Aaron Judge tying Alex Rodriguez for fifth on the Yankees’ all-time home run list with his 351st blast, and examine whether this offense is finally waking up thanks to Giancarlo Stanton’s recent hot streak and Anthony Volpe’s post-break production.But the win wasn’t without cost, as the Yankees lost out on veteran reliever David Robertson, who signed with the Phillies on a prorated deal. Was $6 million too much to pay for a proven late-inning arm, or did the Yankees miss an opportunity to prevent a bullpen arms race with Boston?In Quick Hits, the guys break down Spencer Jones’ eye-popping Triple-A numbers and debate whether it’s time to cash in or hold tight. Cam Schlittler’s status remains a question after an apparent injury scare—though he may still pitch Tuesday—and DJ LeMahieu continues to be nowhere in sight. With the trade deadline looming, the Yankees have big choices ahead.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4kNVfs5de5BNUY55hEiIAFollow Thomas: https://twitter.com/TOMMYS_TAKESFollow Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamWeinribAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
