    Why Are the Yankees a Dumpster Fire? Keith McPherson on Accountability, Aaron Boone, and the Bronx Collapse

    In this episode of Big League Buzz, host Scott Gulbransen dives deep into the New York Yankees' historic tailspin with WFAN Radio's Keith McPherson. From mental errors and a "participation trophy" clubhouse culture to failed trade deadline acquisitions, Aaron Boone's "cool dad" management style, and the release of Marcus Stroman, Keith pulls no punches on why the Yankees have squandered a 7-game AL East lead. With Aaron Judge sidelined and the team lacking swagger, is there hope for a playoff push? Tune in for unfiltered analysis on the Bronx Bombers' soft play, bad vibes, and what Old Timers Day might mean for their turnaround.  Follow Keith on X @Keith_McPherson and check out McPhersonBrand.com.
