As Jake discussed in his piece , the only way for the Yankees to improve within the organization beyond praying for it is to go out and trade for a proven stud. An addition of a starting quality player might give the Yankees a marginally better shot at the playoffs with a boost of a win, maybe two. However, the opportunity cost of expended assets and playing time might not be worth it, given the fact that the team would still need significant positive regression from their other starters to merely squeak into the playoffs even after making a move for one of them.
If they want to have a chance at sniffing October baseball, they need to figure it out as a group, and quickly. In all likelihood, a trade will only make sense if the offense can show signs of life over the next month, otherwise they might as well pack it in, avoid the luxury tax, hope for the best, and prepare to try it all over again next year.

What do you think about the current Major League Baseball schedule? The Yankees are not winning them all. They have young pitching from top to bottom, power and speed. And they know they can beat the Yankees because they waxed them in four straight in July. The Twins are awful. My most likely scenario it a run making their playoff spot dicey and probably coming down to the last 3 games against the Red Sox.
