Yankees Re-Up Paul Goldschmidt on Short-Term Deal for Lefty-Heavy Platoon

Yankees re-signed Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year, $4 million contract (incentives up to $6 million) to bolster a lefty-heavy platoon at first base. Goldschmidt posted a 169 wRC+ vs lefties in 2025 but just 74 vs righties, and at 38 remains a leadership presence whose return locks in bench pieces like Amed Rosario and J.C. Escarra; Ben Rice’s role could shrink, and the final roster spot may come down to Jasson Domínguez vs. Oswaldo Cabrera.
