“Makes Sense For the Brewers”: Milwaukee Brewers Should Sign Paul Goldschmidt According to 1 MLB Reporter

The Milwaukee Brewers will have many decisions to make within the next couple of months before the start of the 2025 MLB season. The Brewers roster is going to look different than what it was in 2024. They already lost starting pitcher Frankie Montas to the New York Mets in free agency.

There is also a great chance that Milwaukee loses shortstop Willy Adames in free agency to a team that is willing to pay him a hefty contract. One name to potentially watch for in MLB free agency is former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.

Justbaseball.com Writer Kevin Henry Thinks That the Milwaukee Brewers Could Very Well Sign Paul Goldschmidt In Free Agency

The Brewers will need to find some offensive production in either free agency or the trade market. Justbaseball.com writer Kevin Henry listed a few teams that could make sense for former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. One of those teams is the Milwaukee Brewers. Henry said:

“The Brewers have kept the Cardinals at bay in the race for the top of the NL Central over the past two seasons. Could the acquisition of Goldschmidt from their division rival help the Brewers be even stronger in 2025?

MLB insider Bob Nightengale has written that Milwaukee “would love to find a way” to land Goldschmidt in the offseason, adding that the Brewers, “would have been all-in if first baseman Rhys Hoskins had opted out of his contract.”

Bringing in Goldschmidt at first base makes sense for the Brewers, as the team finished 2024 with a minus-2.4 in Wins Above Average at the position, tying them for 25th among MLB’s 30 teams.

Joining a team that is already a postseason contender and that will likely also have a healed-up Christian Yelich (who is recovering from back surgery) would mean Goldschmidt could potentially hit lower in the order on a regular basis to stretch the Brewers lineup.

Milwaukee lost out in the postseason to the New York Mets in heartbreaking fashion this past year, and that will likely be a rallying cry for the Brewers this offseason as they try to improve to get deeper into October in 2025. Could Goldschmidt be a possible weapon in that quest?”

Paul Goldschmidt would be an interesting addition to the Milwaukee Brewers lineup if they signed him this offseason. They will need to replace Willy Adames’s production and other players who may not be back with the team next season.

Season Stats

Last season, Goldschmidt played in 154 games with the St. Louis Cardinals. He had a .245 batting average with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs, along with 11 stolen bases. Paul Goldschmidt also had a .302 on-base percentage.

He is 37 years old. The Brewers need productive players to potentially win the National League Central again next season. One team that will be improved within the division is the Cincinnati Reds and this is why they need to make some moves this offseason.
