Paul Goldschmidt Concludes 2026 Season with Yankees and Hits Free Agency

Paul Goldschmidt finished the 2026 season with the New York Yankees, appearing in 105 games and batting .252/.313/.452 with 18 home runs and 52 RBI over 380 plate appearances. He excelled against left-handed pitchers with a .967 OPS, including a crucial go-ahead home run on June 13th against Louis Varland in Toronto. Although used more frequently than initially planned due to injuries, the pending free agent served as a solid platoon contributor before heading into the offseason.
