Will Dominic Smith Help The Yankees?
As you know, the Yankees continue to add depth to their team as spring training 2025 approaches. According to the New York Post and Bleeding Yankee Blue just 12 hours ago (Read THE YANKEES JUST SIGNED ANOTHER FIRST BASEMAN), the team signed former Met and Red Sox Dominic Smith to a minor league deal. The lefty can play the outfield and platoon with newly signed Paul Goldschmidt. So just like that, Dom Smith is a Yankee.
According to Athlon Sports, “New York Yankees fans may not be overjoyed with the team’s latest offseason signing but Jazz Chisholm, Jr. is clearly pleased.” The Yankees infielder posted a video showing his excitement for Smith coming to the Yankees. Chisholm “has previously referred to Smith as a “big brother” and said the former Mets, Red Sox, and Reds first baseman was one of the players who looked out for him when he was younger.”
What this trade does is give the Yankees just a notch more, even though we as fans likely don’t see it right now. He’s come into games for the Mets and just been explosive. And hopefully he does that for their minor league team and eventually makes his way up to the Bronx.
Many call Smith a safety net, perhaps behind Goldschmidt who is a 37-year-old veteran and as a platooning outfielder, particularly as the season progresses. “For the Yankees, Smith represents a reliable, low-risk option. He won’t push Goldschmidt for playing time, but in a season where depth often decides success, having someone like Smith stashed away could make a difference. Injuries and inconsistencies happen over the course of a long season, and Smith has shown he can handle the pressure when called upon,” reports Empire Sports Media.
So, you might not be excited. And you might not care all that much. Yet, the Yankees made a good deal at a low price. Smith could pay dividends in 2025. And overall, he could make a big difference down the stretch.
