Paul Goldschmidt has signed a one-year contract worth $12.5 million with the New York Yankees, marking a significant addition following the departure of Juan Soto to the New York Mets.
The seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP will likely shift Cody Bellinger to primarily an outfield role. Goldschmidt, who previously played for the St. Louis Cardinals, had a mixed performance last season but showed improvement late in the year.
The Yankees are also in search of a third baseman and left-handed relievers as they finalize their roster for the upcoming season.
