The team\u00a0has been linked to Christian Walker. But, MLB insider Mark Feinsand of MLB.com believes the team could also sign Paul Goldschmidt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalker should be their top option, as he has a great bat, can play solid defense. And, most importantly, won\u2019t be seeking a 5-7 year contract because he\u2019s entering his age-34 season,\u201d Feinsand\u00a0wrote in his Reddit AMA. \u201cAlonso could become an option if the Mets sign Soto or decide to move on, while other veterans such as Paul Goldschmidt or Carlos Santana could get a look if the others don\u2019t happen. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s an internal candidate to take over there at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Goldschmidt\u00a0completed his five-year $130 million deal\u00a0with the St. Louis Cardinals. Goldschmidt is 37 years old and would be a viable option on a one or two-year deal to replace Rizzo and be the Yankees\u2019 first baseman.<\/p>\n<p>The American hit .245 with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs last season. He\u2019s a seven-time All-Star, as well as the former NL MVP, four-time Gold Glover, and a five-time Silver Slugger award.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What is Goldschmidt Projected to Get in Free Agency?<\/h2>\n<p>Goldschmidt will likely sign a short-term contract as he\u2019s nearing the end of his career.<\/p>\n<p>In MLBTradeRumors\u2019 annual free agent predictions, the website has Goldschmidt\u00a0signing a one-year $15 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the yellow flags, there\u2019s still a lot to like,\u201d the article read. \u201cHis first base defense was still considered around league average and he stole 11 bases. He\u2019s well respected in the game for his veteran presence and leadership qualities. His age will limit him to one year but players like Justin Turner, Nelson Cruz, Michael Brantley and J.D. Martinez have been able to get one-year deals in this range even after pushing through their mid-30s.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cTeams like the Astros, Mariners, Yankees, D-backs, Giants, Mets and Nats could use some help at first base. Pete Alonso and Christian Walker are also available. But, Alonso figures to have a big asking price that many clubs won\u2019t want to meet and Walker can only be signed by one club,\u201d the article added.<\/p>\n<p>Goldschmidt has been in the MLB since 2011 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He\u2019s yet to win a World Series so the first baseman could be ring-chasing in free agency.<\/p>\n<h2>Rizzo Wanted to Remain With Yankees<\/h2>\n<p>Before the Yankees declined the team option on Rizzo\u2019s contract, the first baseman said he wanted to remain in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Rizzo had been with the Yankees since 2021 and said during the World Series that he wanted to remain in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love playing here, I love being a Yankee,\u201d Rizzo\u00a0said. \u201cI love what comes with it, I love the standard that has been set here from all the generations, the great Yankees in the past. Yeah, this could very well be [the end of his Yankees tenure]. I\u2019m a realist. I\u2019m not naive to it. But I think all that will shape out when the time is right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rizzo\u00a0hit .228 with 8 home runs and 35 RBIs last season with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yankees linked to Paul Goldschmidt in free agency.
