Minor League shortstop for the New York Yankees, Anthony Volpe, would be one of the candidates to be the best prospect of the Big leagues of the 2022 season, according to an analysis by MLB Pipeline.
However, the report notes that Volpe would face stiff competition from San Diego Padres farm shortstop CJ Abraham, who is also shaping up to have a noticeable developmental jump. In addition, the specialized website ensures that neither of the two players would experience a promotion to their respective big teams this year.
Our experts agree that at the end of ’22, the No. 1 prospect is likely to be a shortstop.

Former Yankees pitcher and MLB commentator, David Cone, gave his opinion on the movements that the club must make for the next 2022 campaign, in which he highlighted how good his starting pitching and bullpen are.
Cone said the Yankees must decide whether to look for an elite shortstop on the market or a defender who will give the prospects they have in their minor league system time to develop. “Their pitching is among the best, but if they make the right decisions to fill out the infield, we will see the club contend for a spot in the next playoffs,” he said in an interview with nj.com.

The Yankees are interested in hiring former MLB player Mark Trumbo to join the manager’s staff as an assistant hitting coach. Aaron Boone, according to a report by Kristie Arckert of the New York Daily News.
However, there are reports that he “doesn’t seem right now” to be interested in taking the job, as he is enjoying his post-retirement MLB life with his family and “would have to have a very good offer to get away from home.” “.
Before the MLB work stoppage began, Yankees management inquired about the availability of catcher Sean Murphy, according to a report by Ken Rosenthal, who says he will be a target for the club again after the strike.
“When they talked about Matt Olson and Matt Chapman with the A’s, they also mentioned Murphy, who has better defense than Gary Sanchez and a bat that could do more damage than Kyle Higashioka. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him involved in a trade package before start the season”, details Rosenthal in his report.
