Whereas the Yankees attempt to land Cody Bellinger as their third and closing beginning outfielder, Jasson Domínguez is down within the Dominican Republic attempting to get the reps he misplaced out on late final season.
The previous prime prospect was squeezed out of enjoying time most notably by the emergence of Trent Grisham, who’s coming again subsequent season after accepting the Yankees’ $22.025 million qualifying provide. And if their offseason goes in accordance with plan, they may also be operating it again with Bellinger, who can share the beginning outfield with Grisham and reigning AL MVP Aaron Decide.
The Yankees might let you know that this can be a good drawback to have and that Domínguez nonetheless received a powerful run of play by way of the primary two-thirds of the season as they gave weekly days off to a bunch of Domínguez, Grisham, Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice (largely profiting from Giancarlo Stanton’s early-season absence). And if Bellinger returns subsequent season, it doesn’t take an excessive amount of work to seek out Domínguez an honest quantity of at-bats if everybody stays wholesome, which nearly by no means occurs.
However even when Bellinger finally ends up elsewhere and Kyle Tucker doesn’t find yourself a Yankee (they’ll possible stay linked to him till he indicators someplace, however Bellinger continues to make extra sense), Domínguez’s future with the group stays unsure.
