After a disappointing season, Paul Goldschmidt is exploring free agency for the first time in his career. While the Cardinals could be a possibility, the New York Yankees, with their recent success in the Juan Soto bidding war, are considered a potential landing spot. The Yankees are looking for first base options and Goldschmidt's experience could be valuable.
Despite the Cardinals ' rebuilding this offseason, Contreras invoked his no-trade clause and elected to remain with St. Louis, hoping to help the club stay competitive in 2025.
With first base locked down for the Cardinals, re-signing a fan favorite wouldn't make sense. However, the American League East-rival New York Yankees "By adding Bellinger’s $27.5 million salary in 2025 Cubs will cover $2.5 million), the Yankees might look at lower-cost alternatives than Christian Walker or Pete Alonso, with other first basemen including Carlos Santana and Paul Goldschmidt among their potential free-agent targets," MLB.com's Mark Feinsand wrote Friday when discussing who the Yankees will signGoldschmidt is exploring the free-agent market for the first time in his remarkable 14-season career.
The 2021 National League MVP signed a five-year, $130 million contract extension with the Cardinals that expired after he batted .245 with 56 extra-base hits including 22 home runs, 65 RBIs and a .716 OPS in 154 games played for St. Louis this season. Luckily for Goldschmidt, the Yankees have recovered after losing out on former Bronx Bomber Juan Soto in an intense bidding war with the NY Mets.
