HERE COMES JASSON DOMINGUEZ... I HOPE



Alright, let’s talk about the Yankees' offseason moves! Honestly, I love what the Bronx Bombers have been cooking up. From savvy signings to addressing key needs, they’ve made some great choices to stay ahead of the pack. But let me just stop right here and say: bringing Pete Alonso to the Bronx? Absolutely not. Hard pass. Why ruin this offseason?

Instead of chasing Alonso, it’s time to double down on the exciting potential of Jasson Dominguez and find a better choice for first in my opinion. The kid’s got all the tools to shine, and finally giving him a real shot? Chef’s kiss. Cashman seems to agree, saying, “I’d like to see Dominguez get his shot now. He’s young. He’s got to earn it and retain it.” Yes, Brian! Preach!

Let’s not forget: Dominguez is the Yankees’ No. 1-ranked prospect for a reason. Sure, he only played 26 games at the major league level, but in the minors last season, he put up an impressive .314 BA with an .880 OPS in 58 games. Defense? It’s a work in progress, but come on, the guy’s still young. He’s got five-tool potential written all over him.

Since Brett Gardner left after 2021, the Yankees have been on a chaotic merry-go-round in left field—Aaron Hicks, Joey Gallo, Clint Frazier, Alex Verdugo, you name it. Nobody stuck. But now? The stars are aligning for Dominguez in my opinion. Aaron Judge is back in right field, Cody Bellinger is locked in for center, and left field is wide open for “The Martian.”

If Dominguez delivers, he’s not just filling a gap; he’s redefining the position for the Yankees and helping replace Juan Soto’s production from 2024. Dominguez isn’t just another prospect. He’s the guy who could finally give the Yankees long-term stability in left field. Let’s give him the keys and watch him take off!

But seriously, Pete Alonso? Let’s not. We’ve got bigger, better plans. It’s all about Jasson now. Buckle up, Yankees fans—the future is here.
