First baseman Paul Goldschmidt and the New York Yankees are finalizing a one-year contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Friday, reuniting the two sides after one season together.

Goldschmidt, 38, is expected to back up Ben Rice at first base and primarily start games against left-handed pitchers. The seven-time All-Star finished .274/.328/.403 in 146 games last season with drastic splits, posting a .981 OPS in 168 plate appearances against lefties and a .619 OPS in 366 plate appearances against righties.
