The rumors are that the Cardinals would trade for Goldschmidt with an extension in place.
Goold puts the deal in the range of a MLB ready pitcher with/without MLB experience but with several years on control + upside prospect + contributing position player with a standout tool. He thinks Hudson, Kelly, and O'Neill would all be discussed.
But then he also says he would flame the Cardinals for making that trade because of the teams belief that signing someone like Harper wouldn't be as scary because of the out years when he got to Goldschmidt's current age and then go ahead and extend a guy to play through those "out years."
Sounds like the Cardinals are skipping Plan A, Plan B already signed in Atlanta, and are going straight to C.
