First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is the most likely Cardinals star to be playing elsewhere in 2025. Fellow Cardinals star Nolan Arenado also is someone worth watching this winter.

10/11/24	Cardinals $55 Million All-Star Predicted To Return To St. Louis. It's clear that the St. Louis Cardinals will part ways with some veterans this winter, but which ones?

10/10/24	How Cardinals' 'heartbreaking' Octobers stick with Paul Goldschmidt and shape what's next. Different from the slow slip from contention and into inevitable disappointment at the end of the past two seasons for the Cardinals, it was the sudden, jarring conclusions of the 2021 and 2022 seasons that Paul Goldschmidt brought up when asked recently about how the chance to win a championship will shape what comes next for the former MVP. In each of those seasons, the Cardinals reached the wild-card round of the postseason — and in a blink, it was over. Each time, Goldschmidt stood beside teammates, like Andrew Miller in '21 or Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina in '22, who were retiring after the final out.

10/06/24	Cardinals $130 Million Superstar Could 'Redeem' Astros In Free Agency. It definitely would be a shock if first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was playing for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2025. Goldschmidt is due to hit free agent, and it already has been reported numerous times that the two sides aren't going to come together on a new deal. St. Louis has said that it's going to use the 2025 season to reset the franchise, and it would be a major surprise if Goldschmidt was there with the team.

10/04/24	Cardinals Fan Favorite Labeled 'Least Valuable Player' In NL After Troubling 2024.

Given the Cardinals still have several stars on the roster with lucrative contracts, multiple notable players could be on the trade block this winter. Speaking of value, a St. Louis fan favorite recently landed his name in a list of the least valuable players in the league after enduring the worst season of his career at the plate.

It already has been reported that the Cardinals don't plan to reunite with first baseman Paul Goldschmidt this winter in free agency. A handful of teams already have been mentioned as landing spots, and Bleacher Report's Erik Beaston predicted that Goldschmidt could sign with the offense-needy Seattle Mariners. "The (Cincinnati Reds), (Los Angeles Angels), Mariners, and (Minnesota Twins) are all teams that could use upgrades at the position and, with (USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale) reporting the Mariners would be interested in acquiring Pete Alonso, it is an organization Goldschmidt could call home should the Polar Bear opt to sign elsewhere," Beaston said.
