Player Outlook
The fall for Paul Goldschmidt in 2024 was precipitous, but it actually began the year prior. Goldschmidt got off to a hot start in the first two months of 2023 following his NL MVP 2022 campaign, but since June of that year he's accumulated just a .250/.320/.413 batting line over 1,094 plate appearances. His strikeout rate last season jumped up to a career-high 26.5 percent, while his walk rate bottomed out at a career-low 7.2 percent. Also worrisome is that Goldschmidt struggled versus fastballs for the second year in a row after previously destroying them throughout his career. Given that he's now 37, it seems as though he's simply not capable of catching up with the heater anymore. Goldschmidt will get a shot to bounce back in the Bronx after signing a one-year deal with the Yankees. He did sport a healthy 49.6 percent hard-hit rate when he made contact, so perhaps there might be a little juice left in his bat.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Continues hot spring

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two total runs and four total RBI in a Grapefruit League victory against Detroit on Thursday. Goldschmidt belted a massive 447-foot solo homer in the fourth frame and added a three-run double in the following inning. The veteran first baseman is enjoying a productive spring, slashing .300/.323/.700 while tying for the team lead in home runs (three) and RBI (10). Goldschmidt posted a career-worst .716 OPS with the Cardinals last season, but he could benefit from a change of scenery in what will be his first campaign as a Yankee.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Blasts second spring homer

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Monday in a Grapefruit League win over Detroit. The Yankees tagged Tigers starter Kenta Maeda for three first-inning homers Monday, with Goldschmidt's long ball being the second of the trio. It was the veteran slugger's second home run this spring, and he's slashing .250/.280/.542 with 10 strikeouts over nine games. Goldschmidt is slated to take over as New York's primary first baseman after signing with the organization in December.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Slated to play in spring opener

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt is scheduled to start Friday in the Yankees' Grapefruit League opener versus the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. He'll be making his Yankees debut after he wrapped up a six-year stint in St. Louis by signing a one-year, $12.5 million contract with New York in December. The 37-year-old has seen his production tail off dramatically following his MVP-winning 2022 campaign, but the .716 OPS he provided for St. Louis in 2024 represents a notable upgrade from what the Yankees received from the trio of Anthony Rizzo (.636), Ben Rice (.613) and DJ LeMahieu (.528), who combined to make more than 90 percent of the starts at first base a season ago.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Signs one-year deal

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt signed a one-year, $12.5 million contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. The Yankees were left needing a first baseman after declining Anthony Rizzo's club option in November, and bringing in Goldschmidt will provide a short-term solution for 2025. The 37-year-old slashed .245/.302/.414 with 22 home runs, 65 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 154 games last year -- a sharp decline from his NL MVP campaign in 2022. That being said, fantasy managers may still be able to squeeze some value out of Goldschmidt, as he has rarely fallen short of the 20-homer mark in his 14-year career, and joining a lineup that also features Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger could boost his RBI and run totals.

  • Paul Goldschmidt: Will not be given qualifying offer

    Rotowire
    Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak confirmed Monday that the team will not extend Goldschmidt a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer, John Denton of MLB.com reports. It's been reported previously that the Cardinals are also not expected to negotiate with Goldschmidt on a lesser salary, so the veteran first baseman will be allowed to depart as a free agent. Goldschmidt slashed just .245/.302/.414 with 22 home runs in 2024 and turned 37 in September, but he should still draw some interest from clubs willing to take a shot on a bounce-back year in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Three-hit effort in loss

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Giants. Goldschmidt made two outs in the contest, and he generated an RBI on each of those plays. One was a sacrifice fly and the other was a groundout. He's batting .250 (9-for-36) over his last nine games and now has a .245/.301/.412 slash line with 22 home runs, 64 RBI, 70 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and 32 doubles over 153 contests.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Smacks 22nd homer

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies. Goldschmidt went back-to-back with Lars Nootbaar in the first inning. This long ball ended a 19-game homer drought for Goldschmidt, who hit just .197 (13-for-66) in that span. The first baseman is up to 22 homers on the year, but his .241/.299/.403 slash line represents career-low numbers across the board. He's added 62 RBI, 69 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 152 games.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Posts another steal

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. Goldschmidt had a pair of singles and was knocked in by Brendan Donovan both times for the Cardinals' lone runs of the game. After going 0-for-9 over four games from Sept. 14-17, Goldschmidt has bounced back a bit. The first baseman is now batting .290 (18-for-62) in September and has a .246/.303/.412 slash line with 21 home runs, 60 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 steals over 146 contests overall.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Reaches 10 steals

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates. Goldschmidt was held hitless for his fourth game in a row, but he was able to draw a walk for the fourth time in eight contests. The first baseman's steal was his 10th of the year -- he's reached double digits in three of the last four seasons and a total of eight times in his 14-year career. Goldschmidt has added a mediocre .244/.303/.410 slash line with 21 home runs, 59 RBI and 63 runs scored through 144 contests in what's been the worst season of his career by many metrics.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Not starting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. Goldschmidt will receive Sunday off after a stretch of 18 straight starts, during which he batted .391 with 10 doubles, two homers and 10 RBI. Alec Burleson will shift to first base while Luken Baker serves as the designated hitter in the series finale at Toronto.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Cracks 21st homer

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 victory at Milwaukee. The former MVP stretched the St. Louis lead to 2-0 in the second with an RBI double, his 27th two-bagger of the season. Goldschmidt returned in the fourth inning to launch a 430-foot solo shot off Aaron Civale. The free-agent-to-be has caught fire lately, hitting .342 (26-for-76) with four homers, nine doubles, 13 RBI and five runs scored over his last 20 games. Overall, he is now slashing .247/.305/.420 with 21 homers, 58 RBI, 61 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 568 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Three more hits Sunday

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two doubles in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Yankees. Remarkably, Goldschmidt didn't have an RBI or a run in the high-scoring contest, but he did his part to keep the line moving. The first baseman has gone 16-for-30 (.533) during his eight-game hitting streak, which has seen him produce a quartet of three-hit efforts. For the year, Goldschmidt is slashing .244/.302/.409 with 20 home runs, 55 RBI, 60 runs scored, 25 doubles and eight stolen bases over 130 contests. It's too late to fully salvage what's been a challenging year, but he can still help fantasy managers if he stays hot in September.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Stays hot in loss

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees. Goldschmidt has looked like his younger self lately, notching a trio of three-hit efforts over his last four games. He's also knocked in at least one run in five straight games for his longest RBI streak of the season. The first baseman is batting .240 -- his highest mark since April 4 -- with a .703 OPS, 20 home runs, 55 RBI, 60 runs scored, 22 doubles and eight stolen bases over 128 contests.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Another three-hit effort

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres. Goldschmidt has logged back-to-back three-hit efforts for the first time this year. Three of his five games with three or more hits have come in August, though he's still hitting a mediocre .247 (20-for-81) this month. The first baseman is up to a .235/.295/.396 slash line with 20 home runs, 53 RBI, 60 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 20 doubles over 126 contests.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Launches homer No. 20

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres. The 36-year-old first baseman took Bryan Hoeing deep in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead, but the team's offense went cold the rest of the way. It was Goldschmidt's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 12 and he's slashing just .221/.294/.429 through 85 plate appearances on the month, but Tuesday's long ball was his 20th of the season -- the 11th time in his career he's reached that plateau.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: On bench Sunday

    Rotowire

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Posts eighth steal

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins. Goldschmidt wasn't able to shake his slump at the plate after receiving an off day Thursday. He's gone just 3-for-31 (.097) over his last eight contests, striking out eight times in that span. The first baseman's now at a .226/.286/.383 slash line with 19 home runs, eight steals, 49 RBI and 59 runs scored through 122 games, putting him on pace for his worst numbers in a full season since his injury-shortened 2014 campaign.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Grabbing seat Thursday

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Pops 19th homer

    Rotowire
    Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers. Goldschmidt's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the second inning. The first baseman's consistency hasn't returned in August -- he's just 7-for-42 (.167) with two homers and seven RBI over 12 contests this month. He's still managed to produce decent power with 19 homers and 19 doubles through 117 contests, but his batting average (.231) has been stagnant since mid-June, and he's added just 49 RBI, 58 runs scored and seven stolen bases for a team that's struggled to generate much offense.

Goldschmidt gave the Cardinals an early lead with his two-run blast to center field in the second inning, but Kansas City went on to score the game's next six runs. The long ball was the 18th of the season for Goldschmidt as he pushes toward the 11th 20-homer campaign of his career. Goldschmidt has gone 4-for-10 with four RBI over his past three contests following a rough five-game stretch during which he failed to get a hit across 17 at-bats.
