Boone Out of Touch: Still Clings to Volpe as Yankees Shortstop

by Felix Pantaleón

Critics argue this loyalty has hurt the Yankees’ momentum, pointing to cleaner play in Volpe’s absence and his continued struggles at the plate. With September call-ups looming, fans are questioning how long Boone’s stubborn defense of Volpe can last as the Yankees fight to stay in contention.
