Following the game, Jomboy made a bold statement about Volpe (via Talkin’ Yanks).
Jomboy: “In the history of the sport, no team has given the keys to a position and the amount of play to a player and gotten as little in return than Volpe and the New York Yankees. And they still haven’t planned a different plan. Haven’t even thought about it. It’s not even in the top-four needs going into this deadline. We are in the absolute Twilight Zone.”

Volpe comes into their series with the Rays batting .242 with 31 hits, one home run, 13 RBIs, 18 runs and seven stolen bases in 40 games.
He is in the middle of his fourth season (all with the Yankees).

Here’s what people have been saying about Volpe recently:
@BobbyMilone29: “I have never seen a young Yankees player get the runway Volpe has gotten Its to the point it’s comical”
@raymarcano: “Volpe and Wells are historically bad. No team can carry two starting players like this and be a serious contender. @Yankees, @Yankees_Beisbol”
@YankeeSource: “Since June 1st: Anthony Volpe: .235/.316/.294, 77 wRC+ José Caballero: .211/.270/.367, 76 wRC+ A part of what was working was the shortstop situation (Caballero had a great start to the year at short). Volpe gave the team some offensive contributions as well. Right now it’s another problematic spot in the lineup.”
