Paul Goldschmidt Plans to Play Next Year
New York Yankees first baseman and soon-to-be free agent Paul Goldschmidt plans to continue his career in 2026, Jon Heyman of the New York Post relays. "I love playing," the 38-year-old said after the Toronto Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees from the playoffs on Wednesday. A former Arizona Diamondback and St. Louis Cardinal, Goldschmidt signed a one-year, $12.5 million contract with the Yankees last winter and went on to hit a modest .274/.328/.403 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 76 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 146 games and 534 plate appearances. While his MVP-caliber days are long behind him, the seven-time All-Star remains a force against left-handed pitchers (he slashed .336/.411/.570 versus southpaws in 2025), a steady defender, and a respected clubhouse presence. With that in mind, Goldschmidt figures to land another major league contract in the coming months.
