Yankees explore trade for Mason Miller while assessing Volpe's role
Summary

The Yankees are considering options for acquiring Mason Miller from the Padres, though landing him appears unlikely due to high trade demands. Miller is performing well, with a sub-1.00 ERA and strong strikeout rate, making him a sought-after asset. Anthony Volpe's struggles continue, prompting discussions about potentially moving him to second base as the team faces roster challenges with returning injured players. The team may need to balance improving their bullpen with addressing other infield positions as they evaluate Volpe's future.
