No. Contax/Yashica mount flange-to-film distance is 45.5 mm. Minolta MC/MD is 43.5 mm. Minolta AF is 44.5 mm.

If you must use the lens, get the appropriate Minolta body.

You might be able to find an adapter with a glass element to compensate for the difference in flange to film distance, I had one for Pentax M42 to Nikon F, but it acted like a teleconverter and was not all that sharp, second issue is finding an adapter for bayonet mount to bayonet mount, likely not enough room inside the Yashica mount to fit another bayonet mount.
