There are a few mixed feelings on the big ole contract extension Paul Goldschmidt and the Cardinals agreed to Thursday afternoon, but for the most part, it appears to a good deal for both parties. This post will not be discussing the pros and cons of the deal - John LaRue worked overtime to pitch in his thoughts. This post is just an appreciation of the man who was meant to be a St. Louis Cardinal, their “boring superstar”.

Paul Goldschmidt and the #Stlcards fell in love at first sight, and Goldschmidt made it clear all spring how much he enjoyed his new teammates

I don't think there's ever been a player/team matchup more obvious, inevitable and perfect than Paul Goldschmidt and the Cardinals. Paul Goldschmidt was born to play for the Cardinals. He is the Cardinals.

Paul Goldschmidt is basically St. Louis Cardinals: The Human Being, so this shouldn't surprise anyone. https://t.co/5UlSIK7oVN

Some people think St. Louis is boring. Some people think Paul Goldschmidt is a boring superstar. A match made in heaven. https://t.co/cd5sJo3GdD

While Paul Goldschmidt was undergoing his physical this morning, Matt Carpenter had this to say:

"There was no question we wanted him to be here for the long run. A family guy with kids who loves playing baseball, there is no better place than St. Louis. It’s a great fit."
