The New York Yankees inked a minor league deal with 37-year-old right-hander Kenta Maeda to address their need for starting pitching help, with Maeda having had nine seasons in MLB and starting 2025 in the bullpen.
"I was playing in and he hit a little bit to my right, a little soft, and I knew [it was] going to be a bang-bang play at first and tried to get him at home," said Goldschmidt, a four-time Gold Glove winner. "Looking back, I should have just made the play and went to first base there."
Acuña caught the ball just in front of the warning track with his back to the infield. He spun and fired a throw that reached third base in the air just in time for Nacho Alvarez Jr. to tag a slowing Vivas, who ignored third-base coach Luis Rojas' signal to slide.
