The Athletic named Paul Goldschmidt as their Least Valuable Player in the NL this season. How did he lose it so quickly at 36? His career high 177 OPS+ 2 years ago shriveled to a career-low 95 this year. Is it time for him to retire?

His slash line this year - .241/.299/.406 for a .705 OPS. About the same that Josh Bell had when Miami waived him.

Yes...he should retire or - return to the DBacks for a swan song farewell tour as DH/1B in 2025. But he really belongs in St. Louis - where old ballplayers go to die under the MO and OliPad regime. St. Louis is a once proud franchise turned to dust by MO Mozeliak as the GM.
