It would be pretty surprising to see the New York Yankees move on from Anthony Volpe at the moment, and much of that is because it would amount to admitting defeat.
In years past, the Yankees haven't really wanted to do that, and it's obvious at the moment that they don't want to as well because they would have moved on from Volpe a long time ago had that been the case.
However, others are starting to believe that it's a real possibility. In fact, The Athletic even named him a possible trade candidate, adding that Volpe just isn't the same type of guy that he once was, and his former status as a top prospect with some years of control left could entice teams.
"At this point, Volpe is who he is. By metrics, he plays solid defense, even if the eye test suggests otherwise. He'll likely never top the 21 homers he hit in 2023, and strikeouts will certainly continue to be a problem. His remaining years of control are enticing, as is his pedigree as a former top prospect," The Athletic wrote.
