The New York Yankees have a hole at third base, but they could also be looking for a new shortstop. While Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone have both stood by Anthony Volpe, his play is not helping the team right now.

Anthony Volpe, the New York Yankees shortstop, has been heavily criticized for his inconsistent performance, which has unleashed a wave of rumors, with a reappearance of a shoulder

Volpe's slump at the plate is one thing. He's always been an up-and-down offensive player, and while everyone hoped he'd parlay his strong World Series into a step forward in 2025, it's not a huge surprise that hasn't happened just yet. For better or worse, this might just be who Volpe is as a hitter.

As the other New York shortstop, Lindor said he was aware of what Volpe was going through and while he never had similar issues while a young player with Cleveland, he believed he was helped by the lack of attention that comes with playing in a smaller market.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Anthony Volpe has made “a few too many” fielding errors this season after the shortstop made his 12th miscue of the season in Monday’s 4-1 loss at Toronto.

The Yankees didn’t play a sound game for the second straight night, but they did gain ground on the first-place Blue Jays with a 5-4 win on Tuesday.

The New York Yankees have an Anthony Volpe problem.
