The New York Yankees have agreed to terms with former St. Louis Cardinals eight-time All-Star Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year, $12.5 million deal.
Former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt became a free agent for the first time in his decorated 14-year career this offseason.
After enduring the worst season of his career at the plate in 2024, Goldschmidt entered this winter with a lessened market value. After signing a five-year, $130 million deal with the Cardinals in 2020, the eight-time Silver Slugger is no longer worth a long-term deal. Despite landing only a one-year deal, Goldschmidt has a perfect opportunity to add a World Series title to his Hall of Fame-caliber resume"The New York Yankees sign 1B Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year, $12.5 million contract," USA Today's Bob Nightengale first reported Saturday afternoon. "They get their man."
Goldschmidt has batted .289 with 831 extra-base hits including 362 home runs, 1187 RBIs and a .891 OPS throughout his illustrious 14-year career between his time playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cardinals.
