Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@Barishn22: “Love it. Be interesting when Stanton gets back cause it has to be Schuemann going down at this point but also Goldy will lose some playing time. Good problem to have when you got too many bats. Also Volpe and Cabby both in is great, whoever hits better today plays SS on Tuesday.”
@JMC9787: “If – and that’s a big if – Volpe can be a decent bat and play short, using Caballero at third is the team’s best option right now. McMahon should be a late-inning defense replacement only for now. But Volpe needs to handle the SS position. Big opportunity for him.”
@KabukiUSMC: “They must be scared to let cabby play SS. Scared he’s gonna get a gold glove? Ridiculous favoritism.”
