The left-handed Smith has played exclusively as a first baseman the past three seasons after previously spending time in the outfield.

The Yankees recently signed right-hander Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year, $12.5 million contract to replace Anthony Rizzo, who has battled injuries throughout his time with the Yankees and has yet to find a new home.

Smith played six seasons with the Mets, but never lived up to expectations when they were drafted 11th overall in 2013.

His best season was the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season, when he hit 10 home runs in 50 games.

Smith's deal with the Yankees was first reported by YES Network.
