With the season nearly over, it’s worth noting that Goldschmidt will become a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the MLB this winter.

He is being paid $4 million for the 2026 season.

If Goldschmidt wants to keep playing, it’s hard to imagine a world where the Yankees would not want him.

It’s also fair to wonder if any other teams would have interest.

In addition to being an incredible veteran in the clubhouse, the 39-year-old is still a very productive player.

Goldschmidt is batting .253 with 85 hits, 18 home runs, 50 RBIs, 44 runs and one stolen base in 102 games this year.
