## Resource

MLB analyst Nick Kostos is blasting Yankees manager Aaron Boone for endlessly defending struggling players like Anthony Volpe, arguing that constant excuses stifle growth and prevent players from confronting their slumps — a critical part of MLB success. Kostos insists managers need to offer tough, constructive feedback, not just spin, especially when players like Volpe — who’s batting .247 with a .663 OPS this season after missing early games recovering from surgery — are clearly underperforming. With rumors swirling about a potential trade to the Rays in a multi-player deal, the Yankees’ loyalty to Volpe may be facing a tough reality check.
