Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez acknowledged it will be difficult to start the 2026 season in Triple-A after spending all of 2025 in the major leagues. Dominguez, considered one of the top prospects in baseball, said 'When you drive a Lamborghini, you don't want to go back to a Corolla' when describing the feeling of returning to the minors.
Why it matters
Dominguez is viewed as a key part of the Yankees' future, so the team's decision to send him back to Triple-A to start 2026 is notable. It suggests the Yankees want to ensure Dominguez gets consistent playing time and development, even if it means delaying his full-time MLB debut.
The details
The 22-year-old Dominguez made his MLB debut with the Yankees in 2025 and played the entire season in the majors. However, the team has decided to have him start 2026 back in Triple-A to get more consistent at-bats and playing time, rather than potentially being in a part-time role in the majors.
- Dominguez spent the entire 2025 season in the major leagues with the Yankees.
