Yankees assess Brian Cashman's performance as Trade Deadline approaches

As the MLB Trade Deadline nears, the Yankees reflect on a challenging July, with Brian Cashman's approval rating plummeting to 9% after poor performance. Though the Yankees ended the month with a shutout victory over the Cubs, they have struggled offensively due to injuries to key players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Their pitching staff has excelled, ranking high in various metrics, yet the lack of offensive contributions raises questions about potential trades. The front office may face tough decisions ahead, as interest mounts in acquiring new talent to bolster the lineup before the August 1 deadline.
