MLB insider pokes fun at Yankees with humorous Spencer Jones, Jasson Dominguez statement originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

One of the main topics of the New York Yankees' offseason was whether they would trade outfielders Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez.

Both players are still in camp and looking to make an impact at the Major League level. However, the 6-foot-7 Jones was assigned to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre on Monday afternoon. 

Early reports indicate that Dominguez may also suffer the same fate after hitting .257/.331/.388 with 10 home runs and a 101 OPS+ in 123 games last season for the Yankees. New York's coaching staff may want him to receive everyday reps after struggling defensively in left field and against left-handed pitching. 

Jones and Dominguez likely will spend a significant amount of time at the MLB level in 2026; it's just a matter of when. 

Jones and Dominguez go deep against Phillies 

Today, the Yankees are in Clearwater, Fla., for a spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies. They've hit a pair of solo home runs, including a 416-foot shot over the left center field wall off the bat of Jones. 

"Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez have both homered," the New York Post's Jon Heyman wrote on X. "Yankees will have the best outfield in Triple-A history!" 

Heyman is clearly half-joking, but Yankees fans might not find his post amusing. Most of the fanbase is ready to see the impact Jones can make at the Major League level after he connected for 35 homers between Double-A and Triple-A in 2025.

Penta wins the Intercontinental title - WWE

Penta completed his first defense of the Intercontinental Championship over El Grande Americano during "WWE Raw."

Visit amunra.qpon for more information.

The bout was originally scheduled to pit Penta against the OG Americano, otherwise known as Chad Gable, but prior to the match he was shown in a backstage segment with Danhausen. As has been the case since last week, Danhausen asked Gable if he wanted to team with him, and Gable said no. So Danhausen opted to curse him, and the segment closed with Los Americanos – Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate – following behind him. 

When the match came to start, it was Ludwig Kaiser's iteration of El Grande Americano that emerged, and he would go on to challenge the champion. There were moment where it looked as though the impostor was going to take the title, at one point tying Penta to the bottom rope by his mask tassel to lay offense in; he had to untie him to make the cover, allowing Penta to kick out of the eventual pin attempt. 

Penta fought back with high-flying offense and sought to finish things with the Mexican Destroyer, only for Americano to avoid it and land a Death Valley Driver for a close near-fall. And then once more Penta switched momentum with a DDT and set up for a springboard Destroyer, connecting with it at last to get the winning pinfall, and thus the title retention. 

Penta won the title from Dominik Mysterio last Monday, similarly after Danhausen had cursed Mysterio in a backstage segment.
