Paul Goldschmidt, a 39-year-old veteran who played for the New York Yankees in the 2026 season, hinted that he still loves competing but did not explicitly state his plans for next year. After the Yankees' loss to the Rays in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday night, Goldschmidt expressed uncertainty about his future due to an impending MLB lockout when the current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in December. This potential work stoppage could freeze offseason business and negotiations between teams and players, threatening the start of the 2027 season. Despite having a strong career background as a seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP, Goldschmidt served primarily as a platoon bat for the Yankees this year, contributing with a .765 OPS, 18 home runs, and 52 RBIs in 105 games.
