Rays offseason trade target: 1B Paul Goldschmidt

The Arizona Diamondbacks were last year’s Brewers: a team succeeding after a front office overhaul brought analytics to the fore. But this is 2018, where Arizona failed to reach the playoffs as players slumped or were missing in action.

Accordingly, the team is headed for a rebuild, with any player available, including Gold Glove first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. I’m already salivating [Ed. note: calm down, Danny.].

Playing out the five-year, $32 million contract he signed ahead of the 2014 season, Goldschmidt has consistently performed at a baseline 5-win level, with little-to-no sign of decline.
