Aaron Boone is betting on a bounce-back season from Anthony Volpe heading into the 2026 MLB season for the New York Yankees.

Kevin Pillar rips Alex Rodriguez for his Anthony Volpe remarks, saying A-Rod chose to publicly tear down the Yankees shortstop.

Alex Rodriguez recently criticized the New York Yankees' approach to offense, and used Anthony Volpe as a prime example. Two ex-MLB players did not like his tone.

Anthony Volpe has yet to evolve into the elite slugger that was expected of him to become after he was made the New York Yankees primary shortstop on Opening Day in 2023.

A New York Yankees World Series championship winner offered a harsh response on the shortstop after a brutal setback.

With the end of the 2025 fantasy season, Matt Harmon and Justin Boone host a special BONUS pod and give out awards for the 2025 fantasy season. Harmon and Boone also recap the MNF game between the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams. Jokić went down with an apparent knee injury late in the second quarter Monday night.

There’s no reason to think that George Lombard Jr. will be filling in at shortstop for the Yankees with Anthony Volpe beginning the season on the injured list.
