## Resource

The Yankees keep falling into the same prolonged summer slumps, leaving Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber searching for an explanation. Is Aaron Boone failing to provide the right leadership, has Brian Cashman’s approach grown stale, or is the lineup simply too dependent on Aaron Judge? The conversation also turns to the Mets and their long term roster puzzle. Evan predicts Juan Soto will eventually move to first base, while the guys assess the decision to let Pete Alonso leave, Francisco Lindor’s troubling mental mistakes, and whether the Mets can build around their promising young outfielders.
