The Yankees have won four straight and cut Tampa Bay’s AL East lead to four games, forcing Tiki Barber to reverse his earlier declaration that the division race was over. Evan Roberts isn’t convinced, arguing that the Yankees’ lengthy stretch without Aaron Judge still shows a team only slightly above .500 despite the recent surge.
They debate whether Cody Bellinger’s return, improved offense from Elliott Ramos and Luis Garcia, and dominant pitching can change the race. Gerrit Cole’s latest gem also sparks a bigger argument, with Evan making the case that Cole has actually been a better Yankee than CC Sabathia, even if CC remains the more beloved figure.
