PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. • Paul Goldschmidt, about to receive the largest contract in Cardinals history at $130 million for five years, is in the Cardinals’ lineup at first base Friday but hitting third rather than second, as he had been recently.
Goldschmidt was taking a physical Friday morning in Jupiter before the 40-minute trip up here and his extension, which begins next year, is likely to be announced officially either Saturday or perhaps Friday.
