“He’s Winning the LF Job”: Fans Left Shellshocked as New York Yankees Call Up 20-Year-Old Talent For Spring Training

New York Yankees have had a somewhat quiet off-season so far outside their big moves. The Yankees brought back Aaron Judge on a long-term deal and signed Carlos Rodon. But other than that, the team has not made any major changes to the roster. In fact, it looks like they will be going into the 2023 season with almost the same squad as 2022.

Furthermore, the Yanks will probably depend on veterans that struggled last year to step up and young prospects to break through. The AL East champs recently called up one of their most promising prospects for Spring Training.

The New York Yankees have invited Jasson Dominguez to spring training

As a franchise, the New York Yankees have been very successful with their Minor League system. Stars like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and Jorge Posada are just a few that came up from their Minor League system. The Yankees recently invited outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez to Spring Training. The hope will be for him to get some experience alongside the Yankees squad and show his quality. Talkin’ Yanks shared the news via Twitter.

In the Tweet, Talkin’ Yanks said, “Jasson Dominguez has been invited to Spring Training for the first time”. They also said, “He just turned 20 today”. He will be one of the prospects that the Yankees look forward to seeing grow.

Fans have reacted to the news with general excitement but also some shock. Some fans said that they look forward to seeing him at spring training. Others stated that they hope he makes the Yankees roster soon. 

Dominguez is one of many prospects that fans can look forward to. Furthermore, Aaron Judge has taken his new role as captain very seriously and is interacting with some Yankee prospects. That will provide them with a huge boost and give them some motivation as well. Judge himself grew from a talented prospect into the superstar that he is today.
