Bobby Witt Jr. to the Yankees?

The Yankees continue to roll, taking two of three from the Athletics, but questions remain about the roster, the pitching staff, and what moves could be coming as the season progresses.In this episode of Crosstown Nine, Chris Schnabel and Jhon Guarin break down the Yankees' recent stretch, including their series win over the Athletics, the continued emergence of Ben Rice, and how the lineup has found ways to produce despite injuries and roster challenges.The conversation also takes a deep dive into the current MLB landscape, including division races, surprise teams, disappointing clubs, and whether teams like the Royals, Pirates, and Athletics will eventually become sellers. Chris and Jhon discuss Bobby Witt Jr.'s future in Kansas City, Shohei Ohtani's unique value as both a hitter and pitcher, and the growing divide between the American League and National League.The guys also debate the Yankees' biggest need ahead of the trade deadline.
