Should the Yankees be sellers at the trade deadline?

Who are Fred Zinke's top three second half sleepers?

That and more coming up on theotoire Fancy Baseball podcast.

Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky, and we have a lot to cover today.

Lots of baseball talk. I'm always happy to talk baseball with Fred. Fred, how are you?

I'm great. It's a little earlier in the day than we usually get at it, but I was excited to get started earlier.

Yeah, I am too. A little more energy. Maybe a different crowd.

We love our regular crowd, but, you know, maybe add a few more here. Perhaps we'll see.

Let's jump right into it here. new york yankees lost last night

uh on a walk off hit against uh michael stephanic uh they are now 50 and 45 which is not bad

but they're nine games out in the a le east that's last place in the a l east tough division tough

division um they are also two and a half games out in the wild card.

Too early to write them off.

But this is a team that's struggling right now.

They're a little old and slow.

And Aaron Judge's return is nowhere in sight.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's a bit of a bleak roster when you look at it right now without judge. And even putting judge in it, like obviously helps a ton. But yeah, when you just, like I just happen to have their fan graphs depth chart right here and has the ages beside them like Stanton 33, Rizzo 33, Lamehu 35, you know, let's see here. We go a little further down the list. Both

catchers are over 30. Yeah, it's just a bit of a, Carlos Rodon's a sneaky 30 years old, which I guess

isn't super old for a pitcher, but Garry Colt's almost 33.

Lamagne is 35 going on 45 too.

Yeah.
