Is this team good enough to win it all if/when they get healthy?

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the MLB trade deadline, assessing the Yankees’ moves, return timelines for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and the Mets’ deadline teardown. Gio addresses Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, vents about his wife’s birthday gift routine, and obsess over a minor league raccoon promotion while C-Lo updates on Luis Garcia Jr.’s bittersweet Yankee debut, Trump on NIL, and the Yanks' loss to the Cardinals. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Fauci, ESPN, and Tom Brady on Pat McAfee, prompting Gio to question ESPN's identity. Finally, the guys debate how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end, hit NFL camp updates from John Harbaugh and Klint Kubiak, and dissect 90s rock classics alongside "Hotel California."

With Boomer out today, it’s Gio & Jerry starting with the MLB trade deadline: what the Yankees got, what they didn’t, and whether it signals anything about the returns of Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, alongside all the players the Mets traded away. C-Lo steps in for Jerry for his first update, leading with newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his first game as a Yankee—though the Yanks went down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and lost. Plus, Brian Cashman addresses when Judge is coming back, David Stearns explains why they kept Luis Robert Jr., and a caller in the final segment points out that the Red Sox and Rays acquired catchers, which is exactly what the Yankees needed.
