Beloved Cardinals $130 Million Star Seen As Favorite To Sign With Yankees, Per Source
The St. Louis Cardinals will cut payroll this upcoming offseason, which means severable notable names could be removed from the big-league roster.
Fan favorites such as Nolan Arenado and Ryan Helsley are in jeopardy of being traded this winter as the Cardinals front office determines who should stay during the franchise’s rebuilding phase.
One beloved St. Louis star who almost certainly won’t be on the Cardinals’ Opening Day roster could find himself playing under the brightest lights in baseball next season.
Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has been mentioned as a top fit for the New York Yankees this upcoming offseason, according to The Athletic’s Jim Bowden’s most recent free agency predictions. The superstar infielder will become a free agent for the first time in his illustrious career this winter and is projected to land a one-year deal in the range of $15 million — a significant pay cut after logging the worst season of his career at the plate in 2024.
Goldschmidt batted .245 with 55 extra-base hits including 22 home runs, 64 RBIs and a .713 OPS in 153 games played for the Cardinals this season.
