Could the New York Yankees actually snatch the St. Louis Cardinals star this winter?
New York has had Anthony Rizzo in the mix since 2021, but injuries derailed his 2024 campaign, and because of that, the Yankees turned down his option for the 2025 season. Rizzo had a $17 million option that would've been far too expensive after playing just 92 games in the regular season.star Paul Goldschmidt also will hit the open market, and it doesn't seem like he will be returning.
"Yankees decline $17M option on Anthony Rizzo, instead pay $6M, the club announced," Heyman said. "Yanks have 1B open now and could play for Pete Alonso. He’s believed to be a prime backup plan to Plan A Juan Soto. Could also go for , Goldschmidt, etc." This isn't the first time Goldschmidt has been mentioned as an option for the Yankees. If the Yankees were to re-sign Juan Soto to a historic contract, it wouldn't be shocking to see New York hand Goldschmidt a short-term deal on low money.
Goldschmidt still has plenty left in the tank, and New York likely will contend again in 2025. It seems like a logical pairing between the two sides, although it would be sad.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
