Report? Rumor? The Giants are panning for Gold(schmidt)

Related Topics: San Francisco Giants

Sometimes reliable Bob Nightengale posted this afternoon that the San Francisco Giants have shown interest in veteran first baseman, Tim Lincecum nemesis, and general Giantslayer (.302/.405/.554 with 32 HR in 166 games) Paul Goldschmidt.

It makes a whole lot of sense. The recently-turned 37-year old just finished a 5-year, $130 million extension he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals before the 2020 season — after being traded from the Diamondbacks after 2018 — and one would be foolish to argue that the Cardinals didn’t get a really good deal for a great player.
