While it's a bullpen that poses some uncertainty, a question mark doesn’t mean the chances of success are out the window. Sure, the Yankees might be juggling a few too many project arms, but in this episode, we dive into one of those arms that could surprise us all and might just remind us of a former fan favorite.

With the Cardinals rebuilding, JoJo Romero could be next to move after Brendan Donovan. Should the Yankees go after the lefty arm? He brings plenty of upside, along with some quirks, and we break down what he might look like in pinstripes.

One of my favorite wins in a long time. We despise the Lakers here (and pretty much any LA team). The Knicks defensive connectivity is really starting to pay off, and we break down why and how it showed up in this one.

The Yankees are apparently checking in on Michael Kopech. We break down why his elite fastball and move to the bullpen make him an intriguing upside play, plus the command and injury risks that come with it. Is this a low-risk high-reward arm the Yankees should gamble on?

One of their more complete wins in a while. Strong play on both ends with the defense setting the tone. We break down Mikal’s help defense, the Knicks’ rebounding, and the overall defensive performance, plus why the Josh Hart de facto center minutes continue to bog down the offense and limit Mike Brown.
