In Episode 107 of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre dive deep into another frustrating week in Yankee Land. Despite trade deadline optimism, the Yankees have stumbled badly, getting swept by the Marlins for the first time in regular-season history and dropping another series to Texas. The duo examines where it all went wrong, from underperforming pitchers to slumping hitters, and whether Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman’s days in the Bronx could be numbered.
They also revisit Yankee history, discuss the impact of Old-Timers Day (with a star-studded roster of legends), and remember the life and legacy of Thurman Munson. Plus, there’s a fresh Hall of Fame trivia challenge, a few laughs at the expense of AI baseball “facts,” and an eye on the road ahead for the Bronx Bombers.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Yankees’ 1–5 week: swept by the Marlins, series loss to Texas
- The harsh reality since June: one of MLB’s worst records
- Aaron Boone’s future as Yankees manager
- Brian Cashman’s long tenure—time for a change?
- Pitching woes: Fried, Rodón, Loaisiga, and bullpen struggles
- Trade deadline moves not meeting expectations
- Old-Timers Day roster highlights (Clemens, Soriano, Pettitte, O’Neill, Torre, and more)
- Remembering Thurman Munson—his legacy, impact, and Hall of Fame case
