"Paul Goldschmidt is headed back to the Bronx after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Yankees. The Diamondbacks had been his only other known suitor for much of the offseason, but it may have ultimately come down to New York and San Diego. Jon Heyman of The New York Post loosely linked the Friars to Goldschmidt last night. Dennis Lin of The Athletic reported this evening they were indeed among the finalists."
"The Padres are looking to add one more hitter even after agreeing to a $4MM contract with Miguel Andujar on Wednesday. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller said last weekend the front office was trying to add "multiple bats, that first base, DH, anything off the bench" (link via Greg Beacham of WKYC). Andujar projects as the primary designated hitter. He can spell first baseman Gavin Sheets against left-handed pitching while splitting DH reps with Sung-mun Song."
Paul Goldschmidt agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Yankees and will return to the Bronx. The Arizona Diamondbacks were an offseason suitor, but the decision came down to the Yankees and the San Diego Padres. The Padres were among the finalists while still seeking to add another hitter despite signing Miguel Andujar to a $4MM deal. Andujar projects as the primary designated hitter and can spell first baseman Gavin Sheets while splitting DH reps with Sung-mun Song. The Padres' bench remains thin, with Song and Luis Campusano occupying two spots and four fringe position players on the 40-man roster.
