Paul Goldschmidt

At 38 years old, Goldschmidt remains a reliable run producer for the Yankees despite a decline in volume and raw power compared to his MVP-caliber seasons. His 2026 numbers show a player still capable of hitting for average (.284) with moderate home run production (14 HR), though his run totals have dipped significantly as both a hitter and baserunner in a smaller sample. The primary risk here is age-related decline and potentially limited playing time as the Yankees manage a veteran roster, which could further suppress counting stats like runs and RBIs. For fantasy purposes, he offers a safe batting average contributor with steady RBI production, but he's best viewed as a depth option rather than a cornerstone of your lineup given the reduced opportunity and modest power upside compared to his Hall of Fame resume.
