St. Louis Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt has made a compelling case for his value on the team's roster, particularly given his modest salary of $4 million this season. Through the first seven weeks of the campaign, Goldschmidt's impressive performance has turned heads, sparking debate about whether he is indeed a bargain for the Cardinals. With his consistent hitting and timely home runs, the veteran first baseman has been a key contributor to the team's early-season success. As the Cardinals continue to navigate the competitive National League, Goldschmidt's resurgence is a welcome development that may have significant implications for the team's future.


That combination, at least through the first seven weeks of the season, has made Goldschmidt look like a relative bargain at $4 million.
