Yankees Sign Former MVP Paul Goldschmidt to One-Year Deal

The 37-year-old first baseman joins New York on a $12.5 million contract following a challenging 2024 season.

Paul Goldschmidt officially signed a one-year, $12.5 million contract with the New York Yankees after passing a physical.
The seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP struggled in 2024, posting a career-low .245 batting average with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs.
Goldschmidt has a career .289 batting average, 362 home runs, and 1,187 RBIs across 14 MLB seasons with the Diamondbacks and Cardinals.
He replaces free agent Anthony Rizzo as the Yankees' first baseman after Rizzo's injury-shortened 2024 campaign.
Goldschmidt joins a Yankees roster that reached the 2024 World Series but lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
