The New York Yankees' season is over, and plenty of decisions have to be made.
Some of the decision-making involves legendary first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
Goldy is due to be a free agent, and he's also getting up there in years.
That led reporter Jon Heyman to ask Goldschmidt about the possibility of retirement.
Goldschmidt shut that down quickly, responding, "I love playing."

He just turned 38 years old in September.
Goldschmidt is a seven-time All Star and a former MVP.
In his career, he's a .288 hitter with an .884 OPS and 372 home runs.
Goldschmidt signed with the Yankees on a one-year, $12.5 million deal before this season.
For the Yanks, Goldy batted .274 with only a .731 OPS.
He cut his strikeout rate but hit fewer home runs, an interesting trade off.
By the playoffs, Goldschmidt was almost exclusively a bench player behind Ben Rice.
He's still a good enough hitter and defender to draw interest from somewhere, although the Yankees' roster is crowded, so it probably won't be from the Bronx.
But someone on the fringes of contention could surely appreciate what Goldschmidt can still provide to a team, and he'll likely line up a one-year deal to go elsewhere and continue his winning ways.
