Overview
- General manager Brian Cashman said Domínguez would be better served getting everyday reps, leaving open the option of starting him at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- With Cody Bellinger re-signed and Trent Grisham returning alongside Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ outfield projects limited playing time for Domínguez.
- Multiple outlets interpret Cashman’s comments as pointing to a likely Triple-A opening, a path eased by Domínguez’s remaining minor-league options after internal debates last season.
- Domínguez said Sunday he hears the speculation but is focused on Spring Training, noting winter-ball work on defense and his right-handed swing after batting .186 against MLB lefties.
- In 2025 he appeared in 123 games with a .257/.331/.388 line, 10 home runs and 23 steals, while prospect Spencer Jones is also described by Cashman as blocked on the current depth chart.
