New York – The atmosphere in the Bronx suddenly became tense after rumors that Jasson Domínguez could be removed from the 2026 outfield plan began spreading on social media. And tonight, the real earthquake broke out: the young player – who was once considered “The Martian”, the greatest hope the Yankees had in a decade – officially spoke out.
No need for a press release, no need for a lengthy interview. Just a short response, a sentence sent with obvious restraint of emotion – enough to make the Yankees community explode.
“I know everything they’re saying. And I know I deserve a chance to play.”
— Jasson Domínguez
According to inside sources, the Yankees are considering a number of options to restructure the outfield, including the possibility of moving Domínguez into a rotation role rather than a permanent starter – something that has angered fans, especially since he has been the most highly anticipated prospect in the farm system for years.
A photo went viral this morning – capturing Domínguez launching a determined sprint – with a post from a popular account in the Yankees community:
“The most hyped player in baseball, HR on the first swing in MLB, then in year 4 he’s considered a platoon player. Unbelievable.”
The post quickly became a hot topic of controversy, drawing tens of thousands of comments demanding the team “treat” the young talent right.
Sources close to Domínguez claim he has felt the pressure – not just from the rumors, but also from having to prove himself repeatedly after his injury and after being repeatedly left out of the team’s long-term plans.
Shortly after the post went viral, Domínguez responded:
“There are things I can’t control. But I can control how I fight.”
No one in the Yankees organization wanted things to get this far, but the team’s silence over the past few days has only fueled fans’ anger, and Domínguez has been forced to defend himself.
An anonymous teammate told the media:
“He’s done everything the team has asked him to do. He’s been training like crazy. He’s recovered faster than expected. No one in the locker room thinks he deserves this treatment.”
There was even talk that the Yankees were being too cautious, even “risk-averse,” leading to young talent like Domínguez being held back by conservative management decisions.
From morning to night, the hashtag #FreeTheMartian climbed to the top of New York’s trends.
Fans began to reconstruct the entire timeline: from the historic home run in his first MLB appearance, to his incredible recovery from injury, and the moments Domínguez proved he could be a mainstay.
For them, the treatment of a young talent as a rotation player was simply “unacceptable.”
The rumors may have been the start. But Domínguez speaking out himself was what made it all explode.
One thing was certain: Jasson Domínguez was no longer the promising kid he once was. He had grown up. He had fought back. And he had made the Bronx listen.
