The 2019 MLB season is just around the corner......
....... and the Cardinals have their man!
It was love at first sight.
Paul Goldschmidt was made for St. Louis. The Cardinals were made for Goldschmidt.
They tied the knot Thursday when Goldschmidt agreed to a five-year, $130 million contract extension, two officials with direct knowledge of the negotiations told USA TODAY Sports.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity since Goldschmidt won’t take his physical until Friday, with a press conference tentatively scheduled for Saturday.
The Cardinals have been down this road before. They traded for Mark McGwire. He stayed and became a legend. They traded for Matt Holliday. They went to two World Series together, winning one.
Now, after trading for their latest and greatest slugger, the man who has been the most underpaid player in all of baseball, has decided to stick around, too.
They already had a great team and a great line-up in place for 2019. But, there was 1 piece missing.
And I feel Mr. G is exactly that perfect piece.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
