Trade stuff, Yankees struggles, Cohen/Stearns, more. 3 pm! Will answer questions! @BleacherReport Via @JonHeyman on X

What happened: Jon Heyman is set for a 3 p.m. ET question-and-answer session with Bleacher Report covering the MLB trade market, the Yankees' struggles, and the Mets' front-office picture. The New York Yankees head into the appearance in free fall, having just dropped a 6-2 home decision to the Detroit Tigers that handed Detroit the series. Trade chatter, including questions around Tarik Skubal, is expected to headline the discussion.

Why it matters: The slide is a jarring turn for a 48-38 club that had looked like a contender, and it sharpens the question of how aggressively New York chases help before the deadline. The session also wades into the Mets, where owner Steve Cohen and baseball boss David Stearns face scrutiny over the team's direction.

By the numbers: New York is 48-38 but has lost seven in a row and gone 0-5 over its last five, scoring 4.8 runs per game while allowing 3.8. Detroit, winners of three straight, controlled the recent set, taking earlier meetings 9-3 and 7-3 before the 6-2 result.

What to watch: Heyman's session should offer his read on the Yankees' deadline plans and the Mets' next moves. New York will look to end the skid in its next game.
