Paul Goldschmidt Re-Signs with Yankees on One-Year Deal

Paul Goldschmidt has re-signed with the New York Yankees on a one-year, $4 million deal, complicating Ben Rice's everyday first base role. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Goldschmidt's return as a veteran backup could lead to Rice seeing more time behind the plate. The 38-year-old Goldschmidt posted a .981 OPS against left-handed pitching last season, and his signing aims to balance the Yankees' left-handed heavy lineup.
