It's extension season all around baseball at the moment and now the St. Louis Cardinals are getting in on the fun.
Which is decidedly not fun for the Cubs.
The Cardinals are close to an extension with stud Paul Goldschmidt on a deal that will go five years and be worth around $130 million, St. Louis Post-Dispatch beat writer Derrick Goold reported:
