The New York Yankees have always been an MLB franchise that’s been about boasting star players and winning big games, but one of the team’s highly-touted prospects that made the jump to the major leagues has received a lot of criticism lately about his contributions.

Anthony Volpe was tabbed as one of the best prospects in baseball before being called up to the Yankees in 2023, however, despite the team’s success the shortstop hasn’t been able to post the numbers that fans would be impressed by.

That includes WFAN New York radio host Sal Licata, who bashed Volpe for being a “major bust” since being called up. “Volpe has been a bust…,” Licata said on the airwaves. “I don’t know why everyone is afraid to say it.”
Volpe is only batting .241 this season with 61 hits and knocking in 39 RBI, but New York has certainly been looking for more production on the offensive side.
