Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images The post Yankees reporter shuts down Paul Goldschmidt second base move appeared first on ClutchPoints. Paul Goldschmidt has played in almost 2,000 games across his 15 years in Major League Baseball. All of them were spent either at first base or as the designated hitter. The newest first baseman on the New York Yankees roster turned heads on Wednesday when a video surfaced of him taking ground balls at second base before New York's game on Wednesday. Yankees fans began talking about the potential position change and how it would impact Jazz Chisholm Jr., DJ LeMahieu, and the rest of Aaron Boone's roster. Advertisement However, MLB Network reporter Bryan Hoch cleared the air about the video he posted on his X account earlier this week. According to him, his original post was a joke and was serious. 'I'm told this got aggregated by a lot of places, including a few that should know better,' Hoch said. 'He's just having fun with a workout. Marcus Stroman also takes grounders at shortstop on occasion. Doesn't mean you'll see him play there.' The reason why the original story got so much attention is because of the roster issues Boone will face when Giancarlo Stanton makes his 2025 season debut. When his team is fully healthy, he will have three players to fit in at first base and DH. Advertisement Goldschmidt has been one of the best hitters in the American League this season. However, Ben Rice is just as good at the plate, and Stanton's power demands a starting spot as well. Someone will have to shift into a bench role if none are willing to change positions. Goldschmidt learning how to play second base could have opened up some doors for Boone to explore. He would ideally replace LeMahieu at second and the veteran could back up him and Chisholm Jr. as needed. With Anthony Volpe out of the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox, fans have begun thinking about who could replace him if he misses a longer stretch of games. One thing is for sure; Goldschmidt is not playing anywhere other than first base in the field.

NYY News: Will Will Warren warrant a rotation spot?
Photo | Bryan Hoch: With all the injuries the Yankees' rotation has dealt with this spring, Will Warren almost certainly has a role to play with the big league club this season. While his debut couple appearances in the majors last year didn't go ideally, he and the Yankees both think the second go-round will be much better. Warren has spent this spring working on his game and picking the brains of some of his more veteran teammates, and at least so far in the spring training games, he's seemed to improve. Sports Info Solutions | Mark Simon: Hitting and pitching are the things that normally take up a lot of the attention when looking ahead to a team's season, but defense is plenty important too. Here's a look at the Yankees' defense going into 2025, which has the potential to be a pretty solid part of the team's game this year. Advertisement | Max Goodman: If you've watched spring training games live this year, there's a chance you've seen the automated ball-strike challenge system in action. While the ABS system does give the opportunity to correct any truly bad ball-strike calls, the system does have some drawbacks for both hitters and pitchers, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone is personally not a fan. MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: The offseason saga of Alex Verdugo came to an end on Thursday, as the former Yankee signed a one-year deal with the Braves. Much had been made about him not signing with a team all winter after being on the Yankees' World Series roster, but he'll begin his year in Gwinnett to account for missing most of spring training and hope to crack the roster before long.
