Yankees news: Should Yanks stick with Anthony Volpe?

Pinstripe Alley's Kento Mizuno evaluates whether the New York Yankees should retain Anthony Volpe or seek external alternatives. Following an ALDS Game 3 loss to the Rays, team captain Aaron Judge strongly endorsed Volpe, arguing the club needs him to win a World Series. Mizuno notes that while Volpe showed defensive improvement and produced 1.4 fWAR in 70 games during 2026, his offensive capabilities remain a major question mark.

The roundup also highlights the Yankees' decision to retain manager Aaron Boone for the final year of his contract in 2027 without an extension. Additionally, the article reviews the club's financial commitments, noting over $200 million is tied up in seven players, including Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole, Giancarlo Stanton, Carlos Rodón, Ryan McMahon, and Max Fried.
