Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers recently met with Paul Goldschmidt's agent, Joe Sambito, recently to discuss a possible extension for the first baseman. Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic says it would be a "surprise" if a deal wound up getting done anytime soon. Goldschmidt isn't arbitration-eligible until 2015 and prefers to wait another year before discussing an extension, while the club would like to lock him up now.
