A young sensation who is often likened to the legendary former captain of the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter, has been on the minds of the team’s fans for quite a while now. Seeing as how the Yankees’ roster this season is not really overwhelming, the addition of Anthony Volpe could bolster their roster to the next level. 

The young star is certainly reaching new heights of excellence with his skills in the ballpark, he has been hard at work, and his display of prowess as an athlete just proves his standing as a prodigy. He has quickly become a fan favorite and the Bronx Bombers’ loyal supporters want to see him in the starting lineup for the upcoming season. However, the management who had been keeping quiet about the number 1 prospect and his place in the MLB dugout, has spoken up.

Seeing the flurry of losses that the team has incurred this Spring Training, the New York Yankees are in desperate need of fresh talent. Someone who can take them back to their throne as a team who has won the most World Series. Moreover, the two young and promising players, Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez are just what they might need.

Manager Aaron Boone has opened up about where Volpe’s debut situation lies right now. “Volpe is very much in the running to be on the team on opening day so we got two more weeks to go here. Those conversations will start to happen in earnest he’s played awesome, he’s come in with obviously one of the big stories of this camp, and gone out and delivered and performed and kinda looked like everything we, you know, expect and get excited about. So he’s very much in the running,” he said.

Boone then went on to talk about 20-year-old Jasson Dominguez, the top prospect signed in the 2019-2020 international class. Despite having some struggles in the past, the young outfielder has come a long way in just one year. “He’s looking like a player that’s gonna be a real impact player for us. I don’t know when. Wouldn’t expect it at the start of this season, but he’s showing us why we’re so excited about him this spring. But those are the two guys that we think are gonna be the central figures for us for a long, long time.” 

How did fans react to the statement? 

Amidst the silence from the front office of the New York Yankees, Aaron Boone’s statement should come as a beacon of hope for all those who want to see Anthony Volpe in the starting line-up. However, many fans have not taken the news in a good light. They believe that there should be no question about his place on the roster. 

While some fans don’t trust the management at all to add the rookie to their starting lineup this upcoming season.
