Player Acquisition Update: Goldschmidt Linked to Yankees, Padres

Paul Goldschmidt is considered a potential acquisition for the New York Yankees.

The San Diego Padres are also identified as a potential landing spot for Goldschmidt.

Arizona, Goldschmidt's former team, is considered an unlikely destination for him following their recent acquisition of Carlos Santana.

Alternative Right-Handed Hitters

Should the Yankees not acquire Goldschmidt, other right-handed hitting candidates under consideration include:

• Austin Slater
• Randal Grichuk
• Ty France

The Yankees extended a $1 million offer to Austin Slater.

Goldschmidt's acquisition is anticipated to involve a higher financial commitment.
