Tarik Skubal to Yankees? Gerrit Cole Makes the Debate Fascinating

Gerrit Cole looked every bit like the ace the Yankees paid for, and his dominance is creating a fascinating debate as Tarik Skubal trade rumors continue to swirl. Thomas Carannante discusses whether the Yankees should even consider adding another ace, how the improved rotation is helping stabilize the bullpen, and why Aaron Boone deserves credit for the lineup flexibility we've seen lately.

Plus: Giancarlo Stanton is nearing a return, George Lombard Jr. is hitting a rough patch, and what it all means for the Yankees moving forward.
