Even before the New York Yankees signed Paul DeJong to a minor-league contract, it was clear no upgrades would be made at shortstop to insure the team against Anthony Volpe's injury/lackluster play. It always felt like they were going to rely on Jose Caballero and Oswaldo Cabrera.
And honestly? That was fine. Fans resigned themselves to the reality that Volpe is getting one final, undeserved chance in 2026 and we'll live with the likely non-tender/trade after that. But when DeJong was officially signed? That felt like a giant "F--- You" to the fans.
Why?
