#STLCards close on an extension with 1B Paul Goldschmidt, sources tell The Athletic. Deal will be for at least five years and at least $110M.

5/110? I'd take that.

That's dirt cheap if true. I wonder if it includes the 2019 season.

That would be an absolute steal. 5/$125MM would still be a bargain.

As expected. Knew the Cards wouldn't screw this up.

That’s a great deal, I thought Goldy would be getting something closer to 25-30 million AAV. Good job to the Cardinals ownership and front office for getting this done.

Goldy has been severely underpaid his entire career. Glad there's an extension though.

Will believe it when I see it, but that seems almost old-fashioned.

I agree, but Rosenthal mentioned it and he’s usually as reliable as it gets.
