The New York Yankees are under scrutiny for continuing to start shortstop Anthony Volpe, despite weak performance at the plate and in the field. Derek Jeter expressed that the Yankees are hopeful for Volpe's improvement but did not show strong support, suggesting the need for a change. Analyst Adam Schein criticized Volpe's overall abilities, arguing he does not belong in the majors, and connected his continued placement to general manager Brian Cashman's past decision-making. Trade talks with the Atlanta Braves have emerged as the Yankees may seek to move Volpe in exchange for a starting pitcher and shortstop, especially as Jose Caballero is performing better at the position.
