Yankees Bring Back Paul Goldschmidt, Too! What It Means for Ben Rice, Bench

  • A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that Paul Goldschmidt and the Yankees are working toward a one-year contract, likely for $5 million or less, subject to a physical.
  • Paul Goldschmidt, 38, is entering his 16th season as a seven-time All-Star and 2022 National League MVP, with a.997 career fielding percentage tied for fourth among first basemen.
  • Midseason, Goldschmidt shifted into a platoon role with Ben Rice starting against right-handers, after slashing.274/.328/.403 with 10 homers and 45 RBIs in 2025.
  • The Yankees' offseason has been quiet, with Aaron Boone praising Goldschmidt's leadership and the club re-signing Cody Bellinger and acquiring Ryan Weathers.
  • Goldschmidt owns 372 home runs and 1,232 RBIs with a.288/.378/.504 slashline, viewed as nearing a Hall of Fame career, after a tough 2024 and a one-year deal in New York.
