Signs one-year deal Goldschmidt signed a one-year, $12.5 million contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Impact The Yankees were left needing a first baseman after declining Anthony Rizzo's club option in November, and bringing in Goldschmidt will provide a short-term solution for the 2025 campaign. The 37-year-old's production has declined sharply since winning NL MVP honors in 2022, as he slashed .245/.302/.414 with 22 home runs, 65 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 154 games last year. That being said, Goldschmidt has rarely fallen short of the 20-homer mark in his 14-year career, and joining a lineup that also features Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger could boost his RBI and run totals.
