Paul DeJong Signs Minor League Deal with Yankees, Adds Infield Depth

Paul DeJong, 32, has officially signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees, which includes an invitation to spring training. The veteran infielder, who earned an All-Star nod in 2019 with the Cardinals and played 57 games for the Nationals in 2025, will provide crucial infield versatility. With a career slash line of .229/.294/.416, 146 HR, and 423 RBI, DeJong's addition offers depth, especially as shortstop Anthony Volpe may not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. The deal was confirmed by an ESPN source.
