There are no doubts about what Paul Goldschmidt brings to Yankees
NY Post
TAMPA — The belief from his current and former clubhouses is consistent: Paul Goldschmidt, the player and the person, is going to help the Yankees.
A spring matchup with the Cardinals provided a reunion-type atmosphere for the new Yankees first baseman, who spent six mostly excellent seasons in St. Louis.
He did not return for a seventh season because his contract expired, the Cardinals had announced a rebuild, and he had tailed off in what was his age-36, 2024 season.
So he fell to the Yankees on a one-year, $12.5 million deal, bringing with him a potential Hall of Fame pedigree and concerns about how much he still could offer a team.
The answer, according to several who know Goldschmidt well: a lot.
“He’s going to have a big year,” said longtime teammate and friend Nolan Arenado. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes out and plays really well.”

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
