The St. Louis Cardinals are set to part ways with first baseman Paul Goldschmidt as he heads into free agency. After a disappointing season, where he posted career-low numbers, Goldschmidt expressed regret over his performance, believing it impacted the team's success.

As the Cardinals look to rebuild, they may explore both external free-agent options like Pete Alonso and Christian Walker, and internal candidates such as Luken Baker and Alec Burleson for the first base position.
