Reports: Slugger Paul Goldschmidt to sign with Yankees
Sep 28, 2024; San Francisco, California, USA; St. Louis Cardinals infielder Paul Goldschmidt (46) takes a lead from third base against the San Francisco Giants during the third inning at Oracle Park. Mandatory Credit: Robert Edwards-Imagn Images Veteran first baseman and former National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt is set to sign a one-year deal worth $12.5 million with the New York Yankees, multiple media outlets reported on Saturday.
Goldschmidt, 37, entered free agency coming off a disappointing year that saw him hitting a career-low .245 with 22 homers, his lowest in a non-COVID season since 2014. His 65 RBIs were his fewest -- again, excluding the 2020 shortened season -- since his rookie campaign in 2011.
However, his 2022 and 2023 seasons were more productive, including a National League MVP award win in 2022 with the St. Louis Cardinals.
In 1,928 career games with the Arizona Diamondbacks (2011-18) and Cardinals (2019-2024), Goldschmidt has a .289 batting average with 362 home runs and 1,187 RBIs.
