The New York Yankees have secured veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year deal worth $12.5 million as they aim to strengthen their lineup. Goldschmidt, a seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP, brings a wealth of experience from his time with the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks.

His impressive accolades include four Gold Gloves and five Silver Sluggers, making him a significant addition to the Yankees, especially after the departure of Juan Soto to the Mets. This move follows the recent acquisition of 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs, highlighting the Yankees' proactive approach this offseason.
