Paul Goldschmidt hit .338/.394/.495 over the first two months of the 2025 season after signing a one-year, $12.5 million deal with the Yankees during the offseason, but his production dropped significantly in the months that followed.
He hit just .226/.277/.333 with four home runs in 302 plate appearances the rest of the way, and his batted-ball metrics displayed decline across the board in his quality of contact.
Goldschmidt is going to have to take a pay cut, and he might also need to accept more of a platoon role after hitting much better against lefties (168 PA, .336 BA, .981 OPS) than righties (366 PA, .247 BA, .619 OPS), but he is still a solid contributor and one who is still chasing his first World Series ring.
