“This Is So, So Stupid”: New York Yankees Divide Fans With Their Decision on Spring Training Star Jasson Dominguez’s Future

The New York Yankees, even after being one of the most powerful teams in Major League Baseball, are often criticized for subpar play. The Bronx-based side has not won or reached the world series in the last 13 years. Moreover, in these years, they have clinched the postseason berth only a few times. Rubbing salt into their woes, the Yanks have been heavily trashed by their fans. Further, if it wasn’t for the AL home run king, Aaron Judge, they may have missed the postseason last year as well. 

After a lengthy postseason, when baseball is back in action with spring training, some minor league prospects have come to fame. Primarily because of the amazing play that they put on. To name a few, Jasson Dominguez and Anthony Volpe have caught the eyes of many. However, a recent update on Dominguez has left many fans irked.
