Yankees Sign Former MVP to $12.5 Million Contract: Reports

The New York Yankees continued their offseason roster overhaul Saturday, agreeing to terms with 2022 National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year, $12.5 million contract.

Jack Curry of the YES Network was first to report the news.

Paul Goldschmidt will sign a 1-year deal with the Yankees. The 37-year old has won 4 Gold Gloves and was the 2022 MVP. While he had a .716 OPS with 22 HRs & 65 RBI last year, he had solid numbers vs LHP and also performed better in the second half. Savvy, short-term signing.

Goldschmidt, a 37-year old first baseman, has won four Gold Glove awards in his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals. He had a .716 OPS with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs in 2024 — a down year by his standards —but could be an asset against left-handed pitching in The Bronx.
