Cashman's Volpe Take: A YEAR LATER, Still WRONG?!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

In a past interview, Yankees GM Brian Cashman addressed the inconsistencies of shortstop Anthony Volpe, attributing them to Volpe being a young player still developing in the major leagues, having had less than 50 games at Triple-A before being called up. Cashman emphasized the difficulty of the game and compared Volpe's journey to other players like Austin Wells, who also took time to find consistent success at the big league level. Despite Volpe's struggles, particularly with his bat, Cashman expressed steadfast belief in his potential and sees him as a foundational piece for the team, reiterating that a demotion to the minors has never been considered.
