Christian was far remarkable this year (3.8 to 1.3 bWAR) and though Paul was MVP in 2022, the void in between them there was a great deal smaller sized than you could assume (5.1 to 5.7). Offered their corresponding ages (32 vs. 36), I would absolutely agree to bet that Pedestrian will out-produce Goldschmidt once more in 2024 And it's not simply me that thinks so.
