Summary
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their reaction to reinstating Dylan Cease to start in their second game against the Phillies and sending Adam Macko to Triple-A, the new batting order with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moved to the leadoff spot, why George Springer won't be an everyday player moving forward, and how Cease should attack the Phillies' hitters. Then, MLB Network's Jon Morosi joins the guys (27:55) to chat about why a winning baseball club hinges on Vladdy, why John Schneider made the right decision to shake up the order, how Alejandro Kirk's pending return could affect the roster, specifically Springer, Aaron Judge's extended absence, why the Yankees aren't rushing to trade, and if Tarik Skubal will be on the move.
