Yankees Panic Meter Spikes As Rotation Falls Apart

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber turn their attention to a Yankees team that suddenly looks vulnerable in all the wrong places. What was once the club’s biggest strength, the starting rotation, now feels shaky with Carlos Rodon hurt, Gerrit Cole still working back, Max Fried not fully settled, and depth arms being exposed.

The guys debate whether the Yankees should have been more aggressive in pursuing a frontline starter, why the offense looks lost without Aaron Judge, and how Giancarlo Stanton’s absence adds to the leadership void. They also dig into Aaron Boone’s growing heat, his public defense of struggling players, and why a crucial Rays series could push the Yankees panic meter even higher.
