<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong> are in rebuilding mode after <strong>Juan Soto</strong> joined the New York Mets, and the future of slugger<strong> Jasson Dominguez</strong> might hinge on their decision regarding <strong>MLB</strong> free agent <strong>Pete Alonso</strong>.</p>



<p>With the recent acquisition of <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong>, the Yankees have gained valuable flexibility in both the infield and outfield. Bellinger’s ability to play first base, left field, or center field allows <strong>Aaron Judge</strong> to shift to right field, where he performs at his best.</p>



<p>However, <strong>Bellinger’s arrival raises questions about Dominguez’s future</strong>. As the organization’s star prospect, Dominguez could benefit from more opportunities to showcase his skills. To create room for him, the Yankees might consider strengthening first base with an experienced player like Pete Alonso.</p>



<p>Alonso, known for his power hitting and proven track record, could be the final piece needed to assemble a dream lineup. But his addition could limit opportunities for Dominguez, who is still in development and needs regular playing time to grow.</p>

<h2>What Did Cashman Say About Dominguez?</h2>



<p>Yankees GM <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman">Brian Cashman</a></strong> has expressed his desire to see Dominguez seize the opportunity ahead of him. <strong><em>“I’d like to see Dominguez get his shot now,’’</em> </strong>Cashman said, per the <em>New York Post.</em> <em><strong>“He’s young. He’s got to earn it and retain it.”</strong></em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-news-aaron-boone-reveals-key-details-about-cody-bellingers-role-with-the-yankees"></div>


<h2>A Bright Future for Dominguez with the Yankees</h2>



<p>Dominguez possesses immense natural talent and the potential to become an MLB star. However, he will need time and consistent opportunities to develop his skills fully. If the Yankees opt to acquire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-alonso">Pete Alonso</a>, Dominguez might have to wait his turn in the minors or take on a more limited role in the majors.</p>



<p>The Yankees’ decision in the coming days will significantly shape the franchise’s future. <strong>Adding Alonso would signal a focus on immediate success, prioritizing the short term</strong>. On the other hand, placing their confidence in Dominguez could lay the foundation for a long-term core capable of sustained success.</p>

<p>The <strong>MLB</strong> offseason has been one to watch, with blockbuster trades and high-profile signings keeping fans eagerly anticipating the first pitch of the 2025 season. Among the most active teams are the <strong>New York Yankees</strong>, who have drawn significant attention, not only for Juan Soto’s move to the New York Mets, but also for their own acquisitions and the potential for even more headline-grabbing deals. General Manager <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman">Brian Cashman</a></strong> is making a clear statement: the Yankees are all-in for a championship run next year.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">Yankees</a> have already secured marquee players like Max Fried, Devin Williams, and Cody Bellinger, strengthening their roster for the upcoming season. However, Cashman isn’t done yet. <strong>Reports suggest the team is targeting four more free agents and exploring trade opportunities for three additional players to further bolster their lineup.</strong> After falling short in the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Yankees are determined to end their 15-year championship drought and bring the Commissioner’s Trophy back to New York.</p>



<p>Adding to the intrigue, the Yankees are now turning their attention overseas. Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old pitcher whose electric performances have made him a sensation, is on their radar. <strong>If Cashman secures Sasaki’s signing, it could evoke memories of Shohei Ohtani’s transformative arrival in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a>, positioning Sasaki as a must-watch star for the 2025 season.</strong></p>



<p>According to <em>ESPN’s Jorge Castillo</em>, the Yankees are already making moves to land Sasaki. <em><strong>“Brian Cashman said the Yankees will meet with Roki Sasaki in California soon,”</strong></em> Castillo reported on his X account. While Sasaki plays a different position than Ohtani, the Yankees’ pursuit of his talent underscores their aggressive strategy to reclaim baseball glory.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="586" height="129" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241219_BUS_296314_image-29_514cf1ee.webp&amp;width=586&amp;height=129" alt="" class="wp-image-296326" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/19080010/image-29.png 586w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/19080010/image-29-300x66.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px"></figure><figcaption>Roki Sasaki could have a deal with the Yankees. Via @jorgecastillo.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Cashman’s rivals eye Sasaki’s arrival</h2>



<p>Japanese pitching sensation has been hailed by experts as the top prospect for MLB in 2025. <strong>Boasting a stellar 2.02 ERA, 11.4 K/9, 2.0 BB/9, and 6.0 H/9 over four seasons</strong>, Sasaki has drawn interest from multiple teams, including the Yankees. However, New York has yet to make a public statement regarding their pursuit.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-mets-make-big-splash-adding-former-yankees-pitcher-after-landing-juan-soto"></div>

        

        


<p><em>MLB Insider Jonathan Mayo</em> reported that two division rivals are also in the mix for Sasaki’s signature. Both teams,<strong> already home to notable Japanese stars, are expected to compete fiercely for the coveted pitcher. </strong>The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres appear to be serious contenders.</p>



<p><em>“The Dodgers have a track record of spending big for elite talent, and they presumably would be able to do so to offer Sasaki an extension if his pitching translates to MLB as most expect it will,”</em> Mayo wrote. <em>“It’s also been reported that <strong>Sasaki is very close with Yu Darvish, and it’s expected that he’ll play some role in convincing Sasaki to head to San Diego.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Cashman’s listed prospects</h2>



<p>The Yankees have identified Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, Christian Walker, and Anthony Santander as key targets for their offseason roster overhaul. <strong>Among them, Pete Alonso stands out as a priority acquisition.</strong> With Soto now anchoring the Mets’ lineup, Alonso’s addition could provide the Yankees with the offensive firepower needed to contend at the highest level and fill the void left by their slugging shortcomings.</p>



<p><strong>Alex Bregman has also emerged as a significant target, though the Yankees face stiff competition for the Astros star. </strong>Reportedly pursued by six other teams, Bregman’s potential move could hinge on the Yankees’ ability to capitalize on their storied legacy and near-miss championship run last season—a narrative they hope will entice the third baseman to don the pinstripes.</p>

Yankees Rumors: Brian Cashman eyes Japanese sensation for potential MLB offer

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a></strong> will stay in New York, but he won’t wear a Yankees uniform. The 26-year-old hitter signed a historic contract with the <strong>New York Mets</strong>, the largest in <strong>MLB</strong> and professional sports history. In light of this, Yankees GM <strong>Brian Cashman</strong> has made his stance clear.</p>



<p>Soto agreed to a <strong>15-year, $765 million deal</strong>, surpassing <strong>Shohei Ohtani</strong>’s previous record with the Dodgers ($700 million). Without deferred payments, Soto will earn $51 million per year, which can rise to $55 million if he opts out after five years.</p>



<p>Yankees GM <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman">Brian Cashman</a> defended his team’s offer to Soto, despite the Mets celebrating in Queens, backed by owner Steve Cohen’s investment. The Yankees reportedly offered Soto a <strong>$760 million deal over 16 years</strong>, with no deferred payments, according to <em>MLB.com</em>.</p>



<h2>What Did GM Brian Cashman Clarify About Juan Soto’s Departure?</h2>



<p>Cashman and his team must move swiftly to prevent losing other key talents. However, neither the franchise nor its fans envisioned a future without Soto on the roster for 2025 and beyond. </p>

<p><strong><em>“It’s not a deal we regret,”</em> </strong>Cashman commented, acknowledging that the Dominican player could have always been a one-season player after the Yankees acquired him.<strong> <em>“He made a significant impact on us.

<h2>Yankees Seek Plan B</h2>



<p>According to <em>MLB.com</em>, the Yankees are in ongoing talks with star pitchers <strong>Max Fried</strong> and <strong>Corbin Burnes</strong>. The search for a reliable starter is a priority for World Series contenders, following the Dodgers’ lead, who recently acquired Cy Young winner <strong>Blake Snell</strong>.</p>



<h2>Bolstering Offense and Defense</h2>



<p>Even before Soto’s decision, the Yankees were expected to seek infield reinforcements, especially at first base, as well as an additional outfielder. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> options such as <strong>Teoscar Hernández</strong>,<strong> Cody Bellinger</strong>, and others remain on their radar.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong> General Manager <strong>Brian Cashman</strong> has made it clear that the team is active in the free-agent market. Several <strong>MLB </strong>teams, including the Yankees, <strong>New York Mets</strong>, and <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong>, are interested in acquiring <strong>Juan Soto</strong>.</p>



<p>One of the Yankees’ primary objectives is to retain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a>, who is expected to command a multimillion-dollar contract. <strong>The Yankees are prepared to make significant investments in players</strong> like Juan Soto and even<strong> Pete Alonso</strong> to strengthen their roster for the upcoming MLB season.</p>



<p>When asked about the potential threat posed by the Mets in signing MLB star Juan Soto, General Manager<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman">Brian Cashman</a> responded candidly,</strong> acknowledging the competitive nature of the free-agent market.</p>



<p><em><strong>“It’s hard to say. I mean, I know they want to win,”</strong></em> Cashman stated via SNY. <em>“They’re in a large market with us. They had a taste of success this year and they want to push even further. The best way to do that is to add quality players to what you already have. So, that’s what we, they, and anyone focused on winning and being the last team standing are trying to do: find great players and add them to the mix.”</em></p>

<h2>Potential reinforcements for the Yankees in MLB</h2>



<p>In addition to Soto, the Yankees have also shown interest in Pete Alonso, the Mets’ powerful first baseman. Cashman confirmed that he has held conversations with Alonso’s agent, <strong>Scott Boras</strong>, about the possibility of acquiring the player.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-news-yankees-gm-cashman-sends-clear-message-to-boones-critics-after-world-series-disappointment"></div>


<p><em><strong>“Yeah, sure he did,”</strong></em> Cashman said. <em>“There are a lot of high-quality players on the market, and Pete certainly did an outstanding job with the Mets.

<p>The Yankees, despite their history of success in the playoffs, know that any mistake can cost them elimination. The team has worked hard to improve its game and reach the postseason in optimal condition.</p>



<p><em>“I think we have a great shot, but we only have a great shot if we play our best baseball,”</em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman">Brian Cashman</a> said Thursday on a Zoom call. <em>“<strong>I know that we have the capabilities, but at the same time, I’d caution that we had the capabilities many times before. </strong>You have to match those capabilities with great defense, great baserunning, tremendous offensive at-bats against extremely tough pitching, and obviously, the most important aspect is pitching to the best of your abilities.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Brian Cashman</strong>, general manager of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong>, has defended the team’s decision to keep <strong>Jasson Dominguez</strong> in Triple-A while continuing with <strong>Alex Verdugo</strong> in left field. Cashman stated that the decision is based on what’s best for the team, noting that Verdugo has been playing better recently.</p>



<p>The Yankees’ decision not to promote Dominguez to the major leagues has drawn criticism from fans and the media. However, Cashman insists that the team’s assessment is that Verdugo is the better option at this time.</p>



<p><strong><em>“It just comes down to what’s best to help us win games,”</em></strong> Cashman said, according to a report from the New York Post’s Greg Joyce. <em><strong>“It’s as simple as that.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“Jasson is doing everything he needs to do right now, and Verdugo is playing better baseball recently,”</em></strong> Cashman added. <strong><em>“The evaluations we’re conducting with our field staff, player development staff, and front office are all about what gives us the best chance to win.”</em></strong></p>

<h2>The case of Alex Verdugo</h2>



<p><strong>Alex Verdugo </strong>has faced criticism for his perceived lack of effort on certain plays. However, Yankees manager <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone">Aaron Boone</a></strong> has defended Verdugo, stating that he’s playing through injury and giving his best effort. Verdugo has shown improvement in his offensive performance in recent weeks, with his batting average rising, proving him to be a reliable option in left field.</p>

<h2>The future of Jasson Dominguez</h2>



<p>Jasson Dominguez, considered one of the Yankees’ top prospects, has had a successful season in <strong>Triple-A</strong>. He has demonstrated his power with several home runs and showcased his defensive abilities.</p>



<p>Cashman has indicated that the Yankees are still evaluating Dominguez and have not ruled out the possibility of promoting him in the future. For now, though, the team views Verdugo as the best option in left field.</p>



<h2>Expert opinions</h2>



<p>Some outside evaluators have questioned the Yankees’ decision to keep Dominguez in Triple-A, suggesting that his arm has not fully recovered from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last year. Additionally, his defensive decision-making has been called into question. Despite the criticism, the Yankees remain confident in their evaluation of Dominguez and believe the young player will continue to develop in Triple-A.</p>

<p>But the Brian Cashman – Hal Steinbrenner era hasn’t been anything close to that. If anything, they’ve missed the chance to sign or trade formultiple stars, just to end up trading for bad contracts or overpaying for players just to keep them there.</p>
<p>That’s why there’s some legit concern about them messing up again and losing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-will-meet-with-a-national-league-team-20221123-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Aaron Judge</strong></a> in free agency. However, Cashman seems pretty confident in the team’s ability to <strong>retain the reigning AL MVP.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB News: Brian Cashman Says Yankees Are Being Very Aggressive In Pursuit Of Aaron Judge</h2>
<p><em>“It’s his dance card,” </em>Cashman said, per MLB.com. “<em>He’s a free agent. He has a chance to make decisions for him and his family. I can tell you that we are negotiating hard. [Yankees managing general partner] <strong>Hal Steinbrenner has been very public. I can tell you Hal is putting his money where his mouth is, where he told his fan base he was going to make every effort to sign this player.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“We’d love to have our player back,” </strong></em>Cashman added. <em>“We’d love to be able to continue to call him our player every step of the way as he follows what looks like — as long as nothing happens — a career path right to Cooperstown. <strong>We’d love it to be in pinstripes every step of the way. At the same time, there’s competition. Who they are or how many, I couldn’t tell you. I just know we’re putting our best foot forward and feel we have a lot to offer.”</strong></em></p>

<p>According to the latest reports, the Yankees have already reached out with an <strong>eight-year deal that would exceed the $300 million plateau.</strong> However, the <strong>San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> and several other suitors could reportedly even top that figure.</p>
<p>All things considered, the Yankees cannot afford to lose a generational player like Judge, especially after failing to go the distance and <strong>win the World Series since 2009</strong>. Should that be the case, then there wouldn’t be a single valid reason why Brian Cashman should keep his job.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> </strong>have been pretty quiet to start the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> offseason.</strong> Everybody hoped they’d make a run at one or two starting pitchers, and they haven’t even resigned <strong>DJ LeMahieu, </strong>who’s coming off a career year.</p>
<p>LeMahieu was named <strong>American League Batting Champio</strong>n and was the Yankees’ most reliable weapon, yet it seems like they’re reluctant to meet his pretended salary of roughly $20 million per year.</p>
<p>That’s why General Manager <strong>Brian Cashman </strong>had no choice but to open up on the situation and provide a – non-encouraging – update on where the team stands regarding DJ LeMahieu’s situation.</p>

<h2>Brian Cashman Admits They’ve Yet To Meet DJ LeMahieu’s Financial Intentions</h2>
<p><em>“We have had discussions and our intent is there. We have good intent when it comes to DJ LeMahieu, when it comes to re-signing him, and think he has the same on his end, but free agency<strong> is very tricky when it comes to competition</strong>,”</em> Cashman said.</p>
