Guarantee Scherzer is traded. Hence the fake discomfort and MRI that came back "extremely clean."
Brewers, maybe.

Red Sox score five in the 8th and beat the Yankees AGAIN. Good God, the Yanks bullpen sucks. Domingo German pitches one hit ball for seven innings, striking out 10, walking one. John Loaisiga comes in, gives up four runs without recording an out. Oof. The Bombers now nine back for the AL East, that ship might have sailed. Four back for the WC but have to jump over three teams to get the 2nd card (Sox or Rays will get the first WC). Will the Yankees go for the gusto before he trade deadline or raise the white flag? Prince Hal has been all about fiscal responsibility, will he spend for a lost cause, knowing the NY fans will not be happy in they stand pat.

Prince Hal has been all about fiscal responsibility, will he spend for a lost cause, knowing the NY fans will not be happy in they stand pat. It's funny because the local Yankees beat writers (who are nothing more than sycophants) are still running around saying the Yankees are going after Trevor Story and are still pushing the Indians to trade Jose Ramirez. What? You nailed it, they should stand pat and, if anything, just re-assess this offseason and re-tool. It's not the games behind, it's the number of teams between them. The idea of them going for it and bringing in more pieces when they're as far behind as they are is pretty silly. If they were to unload, I'm not really sure in what direction they would go. They're not going to trade low on Gary Sanchez or Gleybor Torres, both of whom are still arbitration eligible. Chad Green and Jordan Montgomery could be interesting pieces, but they're also still in their arbitration years. If someone called the Yankees up and said give us Stanton and we'll take on 1/2 of his remaining contract, I bet they would do it.

Guarantee Scherzer is traded. Hence the fake discomfort and MRI that came back "extremely clean." Brewers, maybe. That would make the Brew Crew a very formidable team. Their top three starters, Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta, have been cruising. Put Mighty Max in there and that's a deadly playoff rotation. And Scherzer brings gobs of playoff experience.

Beat writers always link their team to big names, as I've tried to explain to others here.
"Yankees pursue Trevor Story and Jose Ramirez" "Yankees pursue late inning, left handed relief help"
Which sells more papers? That being said, the bullpen is their woes and they could shop for some cheap arms. Thing is, their entire bullpen sucks. Chapman has 4.15 ERA and a 1.413 WHIP. Those are horrific numbers for a closer. Zach Britton and Justin Wilson are worse. Chad Green and Loaisiga have been better but still blow leads (Loaisiga will be crucified after today's clusterfck). Can't build a new bullpen.
I think there will be a housecleaning at the end of the season. 12 years w/o a WS appearance, 2-10 record against the Red Sox, someone will have to pay. Cashman will get kicked upstairs to a ceremonial and Boone will be filling out job applications.

The Cardinals get all the attention for their consistently strong rosters and smart trades/acquisitions/dispositions, but the Brewers are very adept at making solid moves that really bolster their team. Even earlier this year, a move that received precious little fanfare, has worked wonders. Back in May, they traded for Willy Adames who had really struggled in 40 games with Tampa, but since then, he has put up an OPS of .926, hit 11 homers and driven in 39 runs in 55 games for the Brew Crew. What a smart move and they gave up two fringe relievers. I could see them being in on Scherzer. I could also see them being in on Buxton and maybe even Donaldson; with Buxton's injury concerns, there's no way he'll command the premium he otherwise would if he were healthy. If someone like the Brewers who didn't want to part with their top prospects were interested, they could take Buxton and also Donaldson's contract (which the Twins want out of) and maybe throw in some lower level guys, flier type prospects.

Well, at least some of us know what we're talking about  Yeah, their bullpen is atrocious. What's funny is that for Chapman, he was the most dominant reliever in baseball for the first two months. Those vomit-inducing numbers are all just from recent weeks.

I think we are getting to the point where they have played .500 ball over the last 60 games now. If any team could make a run, the wild card spot could be in jeopardy, but nobody seems to have the ability to do that.
