Paul Goldschmidt Rumors: Brewers 'Keeping a Close Eye on' Cardinals Star for Contract

Veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is being closely monitored by opposing teams, including the Milwaukee Brewers.

The 37-year-old has spent six seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, but if the team does not show interest in re-signing him, the Brewers believe there's still plenty of room for the 2022 MVP according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

Goldschmidt is in his 14th season in the MLB after being drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011 out of Texas State.

In his final season with the Diamondbacks in 2018, Goldschmidt recorded 172 hits, including 33 home runs and 83 RBI. As a Cardinal, he continued to excel, hitting 34 home runs and driving in 97 RBI in his first season with St. Louis in 2019.

With five Silver Sluggers, two Hank Aaron Awards, and four Gold Gloves to his name, the veteran is a valuable asset for any team that acquires him.

Now in the last year of a four-year, $130 million contract with the Cardinals, Goldschmidt has remained consistent, appearing in 153 games this season and recording 146 hits with 64 RBI.
