Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Wants to continue playing career
Rotowire
Goldschmidt said Wednesday after the Yankees were eliminated from the postseason that he would like to continue his playing career next season, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
An impending free agent, Goldschmidt had a solid 2026 campaign being used primarily as a short-side platoon player for the Yankees, slashing .252/.313/.452 with 18 home runs in 105 contests. That included a .967 OPS against southpaws, so Goldschmidt shouldn't have trouble finding work this winter despite the fact that he turned 39 in September.
Fried was charged with the loss in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and no walks over 5.2 innings.
The left-hander surrendered a pair of homers, including a two-run shot by Victor Mesa to break a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning. It's an unfortunate end to the campaign for Fried, who was limited to 20 regular-season starts due to elbow issues. He was still plenty effective when available with a 2.80 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 104:33 K:BB across 112.2 innings.
McMahon is absent from the lineup Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Rays.
The Yankees typically like to have McMahon's glove at third base when groundball pitcher Max Fried is on the mound, but they're desperate for offense so McMahon will take a seat. It will be Jose Caballero manning the hot corner for the Bronx Bombers.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Absent from Game 3 lineup
Rotowire
Chisholm is not in the lineup Wednesday for ALDS Game 3 against the Rays.
Chisholm made one of the Yankees' four errors in their Game 2 loss, and he's hitless so far in the series. As a result, the lefty-swinging Chisholm will sit out versus righty Nick Martinez, who has fairly neutral splits. Anthony Volpe is covering second base in Game 3 as the Yankees try to stave off elimination.
