Yankees Re-sign Goldschmidt on Short Deal to Bolster Platoon at First Base
The New York Yankees reportedly re-signed Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year deal worth about $5 million or less, bringing the veteran back to the Bronx as a platoon option at first base and a leadership presence. New York is also seeking balance with a right-handed bat elsewhere, and Goldschmidt’s return helps cover first base and DH duties while the club runs back a similar roster. The deal carries CBT implications and comes amid chatter that other teams; Goldschmidt performed well against left-handed pitching and remains a trusted clubhouse presence as the Yankees navigate a full 40-man roster heading into spring training.
