The New York Yankees' recent trade for Austin Slater signals a lack of confidence in Jasson Domínguez, a once-promising prospect. Although Domínguez is hitting .258 with a .737 OPS in nearly 350 plate appearances, the Yankees have opted to bring in Slater due to his pinch-hitting skills and ability against lefties, despite Slater's own struggles as a pinch hitter. This decision raises concerns about the Yankees' commitment to Domínguez, especially as they have shown more faith in other young players like Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells.
The Yankees haven't shown the faith in Domínguez that they've shown other struggling youngsters like Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells.
Domínguez's critics argue that he is hitting .258 with a .737 OPS in nearly 350 plate appearances, with a .269 average, three homers, and nine RBIs.
