Jasson Dominguez, the young player who will have to play Juan Soto for the Yankees

The New York Yankees have had an uneven offseason as they have struggled to overcome the blow of losing out to the New York Mets in the battle for Juan Soto, whom they failed to retain after a year in the Bronx, in which he helped them return to the World Series, but fell short of being champion

After refusing to add Pete Alonso to their roster due to the high demands proposed by his agent Scott Boras, the Yankees have managed to strengthen themselves with Max Fried, one of the best pitchers on the winter market. They also added Paul Goldschmidt to their lineup and brought Cody Bellinger to the Bronx in a trade with the Chicago Cubs

With Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge the outfield seems to be covered and the other spot with which they intend to fill the gap left by Juan Soto, the team of manager Aaron Boone aims to resort to its developing talent and the bet is another Dominican, the rookie Jasson Dominguez

Can Jasson Dominguez handle the pressure of replacing Juan Soto?

Dominguez is 21 years old and has been with the New York organization since 2022 and has shown glimpses of his power and athleticism, while offensively he is able to hit in both profiles, is disciplined and when necessary can be aggressive, so he has talent, although he will have to prove that he is ready to take on the responsibility of replacing Juan Soto and withstand the pressure.

The New York Yankees have not closed their gs and still have utility player Kike Hernandez in their sights, however, the Puerto Rican hopes to interview with the Los Angeles Dodgers and be rescued from free agency by a team in which he has shown that he feels comfortable, and is also very loved by the fans.
