Dominguez has significantly more control and is a lot cheaper. That said I’d rather keep Robert for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It achieves getting a player that could contribute to the next possible winning team, which is the whole point. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t see a scenario in which the Yankees would do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebuild needs foundational pieces, but with the state of the org this scenario seems likely. We’d be looking to trade him for a haul by the time they are decent again.

If you could theoretically get Dominguez for Robert & Eder (which I don’t think is remotely realistic) and then add a couple of positional guys in a Crochet trade (say Mayer & Montgomery from the Red Sox) then is a chance of putting together a competent lineup much sooner. 1B: <Free Agent> 2B: Baldwin# / Ramos SS: Mayer* 3B: Montgomery* LF: Dominguez# CF: <Free Agent> RF: Montgomery# DH: <Free Agent> CA: Quero# There’s a potential core there with only one premium spot that would liekly require an outside addition, but the margin for error would be thin. Still I’d take my shot on Dominguez then I hope I can do better in a Robert trade eight months from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s terrible with a career minor league ERA over 5. Meanwhile, the Sox would be getting back a top MLB CF prospect for Robert. The only ones not accepting that deal are the Yankees.

From what I have read, he’s a terrible defender and passable in a corner. I think he’s an inflated Yankee prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
