As the 2026 MLB season approaches, the New York Yankees are considering sending Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A for consistent playing time, with expectations being tempered by management. Meanwhile, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt returns on a one-year, $5 million deal, primarily as a platoon bat. The roster is shaping up, with position battles expected in spring training, particularly for a right-handed hitting outfielder. Center field is secured by Trent Grisham, who aims to build on a breakout 2025 season after accepting the Yankees’ qualifying offer.
