Houston Astros
Although this one might seem like a longshot when you look at their record, don't be surprised if the Astros go on a run ahead of the MLB trade deadline and add to their group. There has been plenty of chatter about the Astros potentially selling, but winning eight of ten games in a stretch could pivot that conversation. The Astros have a clear hole at first base, and Paul Goldschmidt would be a natural fit with this group.

New York Yankees
Even though the Yankees are getting more production from their veterans this season, rumors of a potential move between New York and the Cardinals involving Paul Goldschmidt surfaced last year. With Juan Soto set to hit free agency next season, the Yankees must be all in to win a World Series this season. Even with Goldschmidt's documented struggles this season, the fit in New York would do wonders for his confidence.

Seattle Mariners
If there's one thing that the Seattle Mariners are searching desperately for, it's offense. Even with Paul Goldschmidt's early struggles, adding him to their lineup and pairing him with arguably the best rotation in MLB would help bolster the M's odds of winning the division and potentially even the World Series. If Seattle can manufacture more offense, it's hard to view them as anything but a real contender.

San Diego Padres
It's hard to get a perfect read on what the San Diego Padres are this season. They moved on from Soto in the offseason and hovered around the .500 mark as the middle of May approaches. With the offense they lost in the Soto trade, Paul Goldschmidt could be a real piece to replace that. It's hard to envision a long-term partnership here, but the Padres make plenty of sense as a rental.

Cleveland Guardians
Maybe it shouldn't be this surprising, but the Cleveland Guardians have surged to a dynamite start to the regular season. The Guardians have been finding ways to win baseball games, and adding a veteran like Paul Goldschmidt to a young roster should only help propel their odds of capturing a winnable AL Central. Goldschmidt would immediately become a core part of the Guardians batting order, and Cleveland has some pieces in their farm system that could interest St. Louis.
