Can the Yankees sell at the deadline even if they want to?

The Yankees have been rudderless ever since Aaron Judge broke his toe in early June running into the Dodger Stadium bullpen wall, but there were cracks in the hull long before then. After making only a single addition to the starting lineup that bombed out of the second half and the postseason in 2022 (and that change being forced by an electric spring training performance that wasn’t guaranteed to happen), New York is once again being buried under the weight of their inconsistent offense. Add onto that a starting rotation that has seen its members fall to injuries far too often and a bullpen that has begun to sink after being asked to carry too much of the burden, and you’ve got the recipe for a team with big expectations sitting in last place in their hyper-competitive division.
