Snarky 'executive' tweet is even funnier after Jasson Dominguez's latest Yankees feat

Jasson Dominguez is going to face a higher threshold for shaking off the "overhyped" tag than any other New York Yankees prospect - and that's saying something, considering the world loves to nitpick all of them.

Dominguez's path to league-wide respect and overcoming eyerolls might be tougher than anyone else's, honestly. He was anointed the next Mickey Mantle before he ever appeared in a professional game, and The Martian came shortly after. His spectacular feats will be viewed as expected outcomes. His failures will be magnified. He's certainly the only 22-year-old with a 127 OPS+ you'd ever read this about.

Earlier in the week, the "MLBExecutiveBurner" account - which is almost certainly some strange loner cosplaying as an MLB executive and not, in fact, an actual burner - decided to denounce Dominguez and feed into the "overhyped" machine. It was a rainy Monday, the Yankees were in the midst of blowing a late lead to the Padres, and every anonymous MLB account looking to get their licks in saw a prime opportunity to take shots. Fine. We get it. We understand the ecosystem.

But it only made things sweeter when Dominguez mashed a home run from the left side, a home run from his weaker right side, and a grand slam to cap it off Friday night in Sacramento. That finished off a feat that even Mantle himself never accomplished - a three-homer game at the youngest age in Yankees history.

Now, perhaps Dominguez will be treated as more than a platoon player?

Friday night represented the first sustained flashes of the Dominguez sparks we've seen since his Sept. 2023 debut, in which he attempted to salvage a lost season before being lost himself. Needless to say, while Dominguez's numbers didn't quite match the pre-promotion hype to start the year, he remains an über-talented 22-year-old who was given zero grace because of the uniform he wears. And he made some of that premature criticism look deeply silly on Friday night.

Thankfully, Yankee fans had his back in the replies to the initial "burner" tweet.

Some who wish to believe in magic say the account belongs to current Baltimore Orioles GM Mike Elias. The odds of that being the case are extremely low. It's more than likely just some sick little game being run by a small man curated to make you believe it's Elias behind the controls.

But ... if by some chance it is Elias ... enjoy the next half-decade in the AL East, my good man.
