Last season was a bad year Goldschmidt’s standardsas he only hit .245 with 22 home runs.
However, in the final two months of the season, Goldschmidt hit better, batting .273 while also getting on base more often.
Goldschmidt is a career .289 hitter with 362 home runs and 1,187 RBIs in his 14-year career.
First base last year was a position where the Yankees didn’t get much offensive production, as did rookie Ben Rice and veteran Anthony Rizzo both had trouble.

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 and add strength to 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 starter Max Fried, closer Devin Williams and outfielder Cody Bellinger and signed Goldschmidt.

Stanton won the NL MVP in 2017 with the Miami Marlins. while judge won the AL MVP in both 2022 and 2024.
