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.

This was once a top-100 prospect who hit 21 homers and stole 24 bases as a 22-year-old rookie back in 2023, and he now looks like one of the worst regulars in the sport. Which brings us to the million-dollar question: What's gone wrong, and how can he fix it?
The New York Yankees have an Anthony Volpe problem.
