The St. Louis Cardinals are undergoing significant changes, particularly at first base, as Paul Goldschmidt, a key player since 2019, is set to leave the team. At 37, Goldschmidt is a free agent after a challenging season, but projections suggest he could land a one-year deal worth $18 million with a contender.

Despite a decline in performance, his second-half statistics indicate he may still have value, making him an appealing option for teams looking for a veteran presence.
