Anthony Volpe is an interesting Yankees prospect.
And that alone is interesting in itself given the Yankees’ long and strange history with prospects. In the 1980s, late owner George Steinbrenner couldn’t trade them fast enough. Frank Costanza still hasn’t recovered from the Jay Buhner trade.
Times are different now. Almost reversed. Yankees fans are frustrated with general manager Brian Cashman for doing the opposite. He hoards minor league talent rather than trade one of the better ones for that one arm or bat who could win the 28th World Series title.
