The New York Yankees made the decision they did with Anthony Volpe, and there isn't a whole lot more to say about it in terms of that. However, there's a lot to think about for the future of both him and this organization, and I'd be a bit surprised if that includes him being on the big league roster long-term.

The Yankees will have to decide whether moving on from him via trade would make sense or keeping him down in the minor leagues until they figure something out.

Regardless, it definitely sounds like Volpe has gotten a warning about his future in Major League Baseball, at least with the Yankees, and MLB insider Jon Morosi had some thoughts about that.

“If we’re in July and Volpe is still in the minor leagues and the Yankees are still winning games and there’s a player out there that they need, and I’m another team that doesn’t have a long-term shortstop, I would like to see how Volpe looks as a potential long-term shortstop somewhere else,” Morosi said on MLB Network, H/T Heavy.

“Because if Caballero is the guy, for now and maybe even the next several months, potentially into next year, what about George Lombard Jr. coming along?”
