The St. Louis Cardinals have a lot of tough decisions to make in the near future.
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is a first baseman and certainly isn't coming back to St. Louis. He has been one of the Cardinals' best players over the last six years and has been one of the best first basemen in baseball over the last 14. Now, he's available and certainly will land elsewhere.
Third baseman Nolan Arenado has been a star with St. Louis and a pillar of the organization as well. Although he is under contract for the 2025 season and beyond, he has been in trade rumors and very well could be on his way out of town."Arenado has been linked to the New York Yankees, though Jazz Chisholm is their starting third baseman as of this writing," Powell said. "Chisholm has positional flexibility, while Arenado is a gold glove-winning third baseman.
"What New York needs even more, of course, is a first baseman. They declined Anthony Rizzo's option, thus making him a free agent. Goldschmidt would be an ideal, cheap replacement, especially if they end up signing Juan Soto to a $600 million extension. and the St. Louis front office can handle losing both players, but if they team up and win on another contender, it'll look even worse.
This would be a devastating turn of events for Cardinals fans. If the duo somehow both landed with the Yankees and then won a championship, that would be heartbreaking because it wouldn't have happened inPatrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
