Yankees Offered Jasson Dominguez For Jhoan Duran At Trade Deadline

[Matthew Lenz]

As part of their massive fire sale, the Minnesota Twins traded superstar closer Jhoan Duran to the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2025 trade deadline. In the deal, the Twins received a top 100 prospect in catcher Eduardo Tait and a former top 100 prospect in starting pitcher Mick Abel. Now, details are emerging about another offer that included a former top-100 prospect.

Ryan Garcia of Empire Sports Media recently reported that the New York Yankees offered former top prospect Jasson Dominguez for Duran at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. He was part of a larger package, though the details of what else may have been included are not immediately available.

Appearing in 145 games last season, Dominguez finished the year with 10 home runs, 58 runs scored, and 23 stolen bases. In all, he posted a .719 OPS, a .316 wOBA, and a 103 wRC+. Defensively, Dominguez proved to be a liability in the field, posting a -10 Outs Above Average (OAA) across 793 innings in left field.

Do you think the Twins should have snagged Dominguez, or are you happy with the deal they got from the Phillies? Let us know in the comments!

Prefer the Phillies deal, but it is hard to say w/o knowing what was offered. I don't think the Twins need a bad defensive OFer at this point (or in the next 5 years).

I also prefer the Phillies deal - in part simply because I never want anyone good to play for the Yankees.

Oh goody.  Another OFer.  Glad we went with the Phillies' offer.

The interesting thing is that he's supposedly a pretty good CF (but a bad LF in 2025).

Negative OAA, DRS and UZR as CF
