Anthony Volpe Makes Intriguing Decision
Ahead of Monday’s game, Gary Phillips of NY Daily News Sports posted a video of Volpe.

Here’s what people were saying in the comments:
@etyrnl: “Nah he ain’t replacing Jazz 50/50 Chisholm at this point. Trade him away for his own good.”
@gcaustria: “Volpe’s future with the Yankees is at 2B.”
@seanmohen: “He played SS and 2B interchangeably during Spring 2023. It’s insane mismanagement they they haven’t found this guy one single rep there in the last 3.5 years.”
@tenaciousg44: “It would be better if he was getting work in AAA.”
@tarabluf: “Makes sense to try him there and bring Lombard up”
@przbb: “Get work in the minors, that’s were you belong”
@pizza497: “Anthony Volpe epitomizes how the current Yankees brand is synonymous with mediocrity, and a lack of accountability for players.”
