It’s been pretty obvious that Paul Goldschmidt hasn’t brought the same numbers at the plate this year as he has every other year of his career. Mostly due to a slow start and first half, the St. Louis Cardinals may not see the superstar batter until next year.
It’s semi-understandable though, as this is the first year in a new city for the first time and with a shiny new contract that is paying him more than he has ever made before, but Goldschmidt’s offense has lacked.
When the Cardinals traded for Goldschmidt over the summer, they knew they were getting the whole package.
