Yankees to Ditch Volpe and Wells, According to Ex-Prospect
The New York Yankees are facing criticism for their handling of two former top prospects, Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells, who have both taken significant steps back from their production in recent years. The club's offseason roster construction has been the subject of much debate, with many fans calling for changes.
Former Yankee Clint Frazier is now speaking out against retaining these players, arguing that it would be better to invest in proven commodities at their positions rather than risking another "bounce-back" season. According to Frazier, there are other players available who can fill these roles and improve the team's chances of winning a World Series.
Frazier drew on his own experience, having been released by the Yankees after struggling for five seasons. He believes that the Yankees should be proactive in making moves rather than holding onto players who may not deliver.
The idea of moving on from Volpe and Wells has sparked debate among fans, with some arguing that these young players have potential and can bounce back from their recent struggles. However, Frazier's sentiment is backed by many fans who are eager to see the team make a splash in free agency this offseason.
With the Yankees seeking to win their first World Series title since 2009, it remains to be seen whether they will heed Frazier's advice and make some bold moves to improve their roster. One thing is certain: the club's offseason decisions will have a significant impact on their chances of success in the coming season.

. Frazier makes some solid points about prioritizing proven players over "bounce-back" hopefuls #Yankees #MLB. It's hard to blame them for wanting a World Series win ASAP 
. As someone who's seen the team's roster construction, I think they need to shake things up and make some bold moves 
. Volpe and Wells have had their moments, but it's time to move on from players who aren't consistently delivering #FrazierFor GM 
.
. The Yankees have the resources to make some big moves this offseason. They don't need to hold onto players who are just not delivering. And let's be real, winning a World Series is all about making the right moves during the offseason. If Frazier is saying that it's better to invest in proven players, I think he's onto something 
. The fans would love to see some bold moves from the Yankees this year!
. These kids are talented, don't get me wrong, but they gotta step up their game if they wanna be part of the Yankees' plans. It's like, we all remember the greats – Jeter, Posada, Rivera... and now it's time for some new blood. I'm not saying Volpe and Wells aren't worth a shot, but Frazier's got a point - why take the risk when you can invest in someone proven? And let's be real, the Yankees' history of making questionable moves isn't exactly inspiring confidence 
... still, I love seeing these young guns get another chance to shine. Maybe they'll surprise us and make it happen. Fingers crossed! 
the yanks are so stubborn sometimes i feel like they're not listening to fan feedback at all. it's like they think volpe and wells are gonna magically turn their game around and become superstars again lol no way. frazier has a point tho, we need that proven commodity at those positions or else were stuck in the same old cycle of mediocrity 
. They've been in a rut for years now. If you want that World Series title, you gotta make some tough decisions 
.
. It's not just about getting a "bounce-back" player, it's about finding someone who's gonna make an impact all season long 
. And let's be real, Frazier knows what he's talking about, having been on the other side of that struggles himself 
.
according to data, teams that take more risks in free agency tend to perform better (95% win rate vs 75% for teams playing it safe). meanwhile, Volpe and Wells have seen their value drop significantly since being drafted (both are now worth ~70% of their initial draft value 
. I mean, I get it, you want to give young players a chance, but if they're not producing like they should be, it's time to cut bait, ya know? 
. Plus, it's all about winning, right? You gotta put that first priority! 
. Frazier's point about investing in proven players is a good one - it's always riskier to go all-in on guys who are still developing 
Yankees gotta make a move already! I mean, Volpe & Wells were like the future but now they're just holding them back 
we need those proven players to lead us to that 2009 World Series title
