The Yankees closed out their series against the Braves with a clean 4–2 victory behind a strong Marcus Stroman outing—his fourth consecutive solid start since returning to the rotation. Adam and Thomas react to the win and what it means for the rotation going forward, especially with Will Warren continuing to struggle. They also discuss Aaron Judge tying Alex Rodriguez for fifth on the Yankees’ all-time home run list with his 351st blast, and examine whether this offense is finally waking up thanks to Giancarlo Stanton’s recent hot streak and Anthony Volpe’s post-break production.

But the win wasn’t without cost, as the Yankees lost out on veteran reliever David Robertson, who signed with the Phillies on a prorated deal. Was $6 million too much to pay for a proven late-inning arm, or did the Yankees miss an opportunity to prevent a bullpen arms race with Boston?

In Quick Hits, the guys break down Spencer Jones’ eye-popping Triple-A numbers and debate whether it’s time to cash in or hold tight. Cam Schlittler’s status remains a question after an apparent injury scare—though he may still pitch Tuesday—and DJ LeMahieu continues to be nowhere in sight. With the trade deadline looming, the Yankees have big choices ahead.
