Source: Cards, Goldy finalizing 5-year extension

All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and the St. Louis Cardinals are finalizing a five-year extension for about $130 million, a source familiar with the deal confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday.

The deal will keep Goldschmidt, who will make $14.5 million this season in the final year of his current deal, with the Cardinals through the 2024 season.

The deal was first reported by The Athletic.

The Cardinals acquired the 31-year-old slugger in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Dec. 8 in exchange for right-handed pitcher Luke Weaver, catcher Carson Kelly and infielder Andy Young.
