Yankees Reassess Jasson Domínguez’s Role as Blockbuster Trade Talk Resurfaces

Reports signal a tilt toward proven outfield help, reflecting Domínguez’s mixed 2025 alongside Spencer Jones’s rise.

Overview

  • Newsweek, citing SNY’s Anthony McCarron, reports Domínguez would be unlikely to move unless the Yankees pursue a true blockbuster deal.
  • Domínguez logged 123 games in 2025 with a .257/.331/.388 line, 10 home runs and 23 steals, losing late-season playing time before doubling in his lone postseason at-bat.
  • Public defensive metrics cited by Empire Sports Media show below-average work in center field, including -7 defensive runs saved and -10 outs above average over 793 innings.
  • Analysts highlighted pronounced platoon splits, with Empire Sports Media and Newsweek noting far weaker production from the right side, including a .204 average and .569 OPS versus left-handers.
  • Spencer Jones’s power-speed breakout in Double-A/Triple-A and uncertainty around Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham’s returns increase pressure on New York’s outfield decisions, with Austin Wells’ growth offering a complementary boost behind the plate.
