Yankees Make Intriguing Decision On Locker
Ahead of the game, Volpe did an interview with Meredith Marakovits of YES Network.
She revealed that Volpe’s locker has been placed next to Aaron Judge.
Marakovits: “Hey, you mentioned Aaron Judge. I couldn’t help but notice that your locker is right next to him now in the clubhouse. What do you think of that locker assignment?”
Volpe: “I know, I’ve gotta keep my stuff in order so I don’t encroach on him, but yeah, I’ll take it.”
Despite being up and down this year, Volpe is in his fourth season with the Yankees.
Therefore, he has been with Judge for a long time.
