He split 2016 between the AZL Mariners and the Everett AquaSox of the Northwest League, playing a total of 19 games during which he hit .279/.328/.311. His professional debut had been delayed because of a hamstring injury. On January 26, 2017, he was traded to the Oakland Athletics in return for P Dillon Overton. Goldstein spent 2017 with the Beloit Snappers. He played at three levels in the Athletics system in 2018, including taking a walk in his only AAA plate appearance for the Nashville Sounds.
