CHICAGO - Did these last two days on the South Side alter anything in the Yankees' trade deadline strategy?
In dropping a pair of extra-inning games to the White Sox, ending with Thursday afternoon's 2-1, 11-inning loss, it was all about the Yanks' inability to gain any offensive traction.
That's been a team theme since mid-June, and there are four shopping days left to improve this lineup – now missing the injured Cody Bellinger (hamstring), in addition to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton – before Monday's 6 p.m. MLB trade deadline.
The Yankee front office's response will shadow over everything this weekend at Wrigley Field, as the Yanks continue their Windy City week with three games vs. the Cubs.
And these last two games couldn't have gone worse against the White Sox, with the Yanks' failure to fully support their starters, and a relief corps on fumes.
