With that, MLB insider Brian Murphy of MLB.com believes the Yankees could look to trade the star young outfielder in a rather surprising move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeading into 2026, it feels like Jasson Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s career in New York is already at a crossroads. \u2026 Still just 22 years old, Dom\u00ednguez obviously possesses gobs of potential,\u201d Murphy wrote. \u201cIf the team can\u2019t work out a deal for Bellinger or Tucker, or if it believes top outfield prospect Spencer Jones isn\u2019t quite ready, Dom\u00ednguez might get another shot at extended playing time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if the Yankees do make another outfield addition, they could do something that would have seemed unfathomable not too long ago and decide to trade Dom\u00ednguez to upgrade the roster elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez would likely have some good trade value. New York could get an asset back in return for him to fill a more pressing need. The 22-year-old could be a starter outfielder on another team, so perhaps the Yankees look to move him for some pitching help or an infielder.<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez hit .257 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs last season. He had just one at-bat during the Yankees\u2019 playoff run.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Unlikely to Make a Position Change for Dominguez<\/h2>\n<p>With Dominguez\u2019s future with the Yankees murky, he is heading to the Dominican League to work on his outfield defense and right-handed hitting.<\/p>\n<p>However, if New York brings back Bellinger, it puts Dominguez in a weird spot. Yankees insider Brendan Kuty of The Athletic believes that means he could be dealt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeft field is hard, especially at Yankee Stadium. And the Yankees surely recognized the difference between having Bellinger over Dom\u00ednguez there last season,\u201d Kuty wrote. \u201cAlso, with the nine figures that Bellinger is likely to procure, the Yankees probably won\u2019t want to up his first base usage until he runs out of steam in the outfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCredit to Dom\u00ednguez for going to the Dominican Republic to work on his defense and right-handed hitting. But he might be looking at a future where he\u2019s a fourth outfielder or traded if the Yankees re-sign Bellinger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez has been a top Yankees prospect, but he hasn\u2019t shown he can be an everyday player in the MLB.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dominguez Expected to be \u2018In The Mix\u2019 for Starting Job<\/h2>\n<p>Entering the offseason, Dominguez was expected to be in the mix for a starting job in 2026, according to manager Aaron Boone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still really like his ceiling,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI think he did a lot of really good things this year. But again, you\u2019ve got to see where the winter takes you and what the roster looks like. I expect him to be a regular player for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, with Trent Grisham accepting his qualifying offer, Dominguez\u2019s future got murkier, especially if Bellinger returns. But, for now, Dominguez is off playing winter ball to improve his game and be ready for spring training.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL, MLB and Cleveland Browns for Heavy.com.
