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.

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.

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.

As the New York Yankees slumped into the All-Star break, the struggles of third-year shortstop Anthony Volpe were "killing the team," one veteran New York columnist says.

Speaking on the YES Network broadcast, Kay pointed out that the Atlanta Braves’ run totals against the Yankees in the previous five innings were 1, 4, 2, 1, 0, which is a zip code in Buffalo.

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?
