The New York Yankees have added a former MVP to the roster.

The Yankees are signing first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year, $12.5 million deal, according to YES Network's Jack Curry and ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Goldschmidt, who turned 37 in September, adds a right-handed bat to the Yankees lineup.

He could potentially serve as part of a platoon with Ben Rice, who split time between Triple-A and the MLB last season but could take on a bigger role in 2025.

Here's a look at the Yankees projected starting lineup following the Goldschmidt signing.
