The New York Yankees keep making moves.

Last season was worse Goldschmidt standardas he only hit .245 with 22 home runs.
However, over the final two months of the season, Goldschmidt hit better, batting .273 while getting on base more.
Goldschmidt is a career .289 hitter with 362 career home runs and 1,187 RBIs over his 14-year career.
First base last year was a position where the Yankees didn’t have much offensive production, as rookie Ben Rice and veteran Anthony Rizzo they both fought.

The Yankees’ first basemen in 2024 combined for an OPS (On-base plus slugging percentage) of just .619, the lowest in Major League Baseball.
The seven-time All-Star will slot into the middle of the Yankees lineup, deepening an already strong Yankees lineup despite the loss Juan Soto to the New York Mets.
Since losing Soto, the Yankees have turned to their “Plan B.” The team signed first baseman Max Fried, closer Devin Williams, an outfielder Cody Bellinger and signed Goldschmidt.

Goldschmidt is not the first MVP the Yankees have won this season, as Bellinger won the 2019 NL MVP with Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Yankees have four MVP winners in their lineup with the addition of Goldschmidt, Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
Stanton won the 2017 NL MVP with the Miami Marlins, while the Judge won the AL MVP in both 2022 and 2024.
