NY Post: Dominguez may not have a roster spot

[Shady]

The Yankees are not high on him. No, they won't come out and say that. The way that you know is the reduction in playing time as the season went on, and their offseason approach. They had 2 OF enter free agency, and rather than let that organically provide an opening for their 23 year old wonder kid, they re-signed them to big contracts. They are telegraphing their evaluation of the player. We would do well to believe them.

Then, the Yankees should be open to trading him for a reasonable return.

trade Matthews for a part time player... lol

Dominguez has been a more productive MLB player than Mathews has been. And Dominguez is only 23 and Mathews is 25.

Though I am not against acquiring Dominguez, comparing their MLB production os silly. Mathews is on the cusp of making his debut. He rose 4 minor league levels in 1 year before struggling (and I use rhat term loosely) a little at Memphis last year. Hopefully that struggle last year is enough for him to be even better this year. I would struggle really hard, having to give up Mathews.

Isn't it about time for Mathews to be a productive MLB pitcher for the Cardinals? He is 25. He's not the the starting rotation picture at the present time. Actually, I would prefer Bloom offer Pallante and Crooks.

[ScotchMIrish]

Does he have options?

The Yankees are in a position to contend in 2026, so they don’t want to see if JD can develop into something more. They paid for the more sure things. The Cardinals, however, are in position to see if they could develop him into a solid player.

Having said that, and being someone who thinks the Cards should go after him, there’s no way the Cards should give up prospects to get him. My proposal of Pages, Romero and Fitts was made because it fills needs for the Yankees and gives JD a chance to start in the majors.

There is no way I’m giving up Mathews for JD. Mathews, Doyle, and JC present the best chance at TOTR starter potential.

He is close. He has only been in the system 2 full years. Patience grasshopper.

I hope you are correct. However, the fact that the Cardinals brought in three starting pitchers for their rotation makes me wonder how close they feel Mathews is to being a productive MLB starting pitcher.

The three brought in are no guarantees of starting. Second, with all the pitching they brought in, it’s a saturation of arms. Matthews may be a part of that group.

We are collecting pitching.
1.) We were very thin on MLB ready arms.
2.) You can never have enough pitching.
3.) Eventually you can use this depth as trade collateral

I hope so. At 25, it's about time.
