What happened

Brian Cashman is filing the Yankees’ decision to option former top prospect Anthony Volpe to Triple-A under the heading of a good problem to have.

Why it matters

“We’re paid to make very difficult decisions,” the Yankees general manager told The Post at BTIG Charity Day.

Common ground

And (Jose) Caballero has emerged with his play, and so we kind of had to honor that.
