## Resource

Anthony Volpe’s latest controversy erupted when a broadcaster claimed he refused to play second base — a rumor that quickly spiraled despite the broadcaster later walking it back. Volpe himself had to step in, calling it “B.S.” and reaffirming his commitment as a shortstop. The chatter began after his recent demotion to Triple-A, sparking fan debates about his position. A polarizing figure since his draft, Volpe’s journey includes comparisons to Jeter, mixed stats, and even playing through a torn labrum. Though he’s trained at second base, injuries and roster needs kept him at shortstop — a role his manager praises for his grit. For Yankees fans, the real hope? A championship.
