The New York Yankees have signed Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year $12.5 Million deal.
The four-time Gold Glove Award winner has signed with the Yankees following their previous moves of Devin Williams, Max Fried, and Cody Bellinger.
The 2022 National League MVP played in 154 games in the 2024 season tallying 22 home runs. His bat will be a boost that the Yankees need as they have had little production from the first base position.
For the Yankees, the pickup follows the release of Anthony Rizzo who was a big part of the Yankees World Series fall, as he failed to get to first base in a crucial spot in the 5th inning of game 5.
In the 2024 season Goldschmidt was awarded with the Lou Gehrig award, the award signifies the character and integrity of Lou Gehrig and is awarded to a player in both the American and National League who shows similar qualities as Gehrig once did.
It is safe to say the Yankees are not done rebuilding the offense since they were unable to sign Juan Soto.
