The New York Yankees, who lost Juan Soto (New York Mets), have recruited Paul Goldschmidt, the first baseman of the Gold Glove.

The Associated Press reported on the 22nd (Korea time) that "Goldschmidt and the Yankees agreed to a one-year contract of $12.5 million (about 18.11 billion won)."

Goldschmidt made his big league debut in 2011 and played for the Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals. He played in 1928 games and posted a batting average of 0.289, 362 homers, 1,187 RBIs, 1204 runs and 169 steals.

When he was a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, he was named MVP of the National League in 2022 and was named an All-Star seven times. He also received four gold gloves, which are given to the best defender.

However, in the 2024 season, the last year of his six-year contract with St. Louis, he did not show the same performance as in previous years with a batting average of 0.245 and 22 home runs and 65 RBIs.

The Yankees, who lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, lost even the core power of the team, which was considered the biggest fish in the Stove League, to the local rival New York Mets.

Since then, a large number of players have been recruited to reinforce their power.

He signed an eight-year contract with starting pitcher Max Fried for $218 million (about 312.8 billion won), the highest in left-hander history. 먹튀검증

In addition, the Yankees, who brought Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams in a trade, are making all-out efforts to strengthen their power, including recently acquiring slugger Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs.

With Goldschmidt joining, the Yankees have four former MVPs. Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Bellinger have all been named MVP.
