USA Today's Bob Nightingale said on the 22nd (Korea time) that the Yankees agreed to sign first baseman Paul Goldschmidt for a year and $12.5 million.

Goldschmidt was named the National League MVP in 2022 at the age of 35 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He batted .317 with 35 homers and 115 RBIs in 151 games, and a 0.404 OPS 0.981 on-base percentage.스포츠토토

Since then, his performance has declined. He had 25 home runs and an OPS of 0.810 in 2023, and only 22 home runs and an OPS of 0.716 in 2024.

As a result, the Yankees solved the problem of the first baseman, which created a gap due to Anthony Rizzo's departure.

In addition, the team will have four former MVP hitters, including Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Cody Bellinger. It is larger than the Dodgers' three. Dodgers has Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman.

After losing Juan Soto to the Mets, the Yankees are recruiting players very aggressively. They took Bellinger after Max Fried, the best left-hander. Then, they embraced Goldschmidt. He is expected to recruit Vladimir Guerrero Jr. during or after next season.
