That's probably a fair deal for him on the open market, and I wouldn't have thrown a conniption had the Cardinals signed him to that, but I'm fine with them passing.
Him staying in the AL is huge, though.

yeah I heard all over the internet about his fondness for the Cardinals. All the Cardinals had to do was get close to market value and he was theirs..... $31 million for 7 years would have been a big gamble for us in those later years. I could see why they backed off.
I can get comfortable with a healthy Waino/Wacha/Martinez in the playoffs. We need one more top of the line pitcher this year. Reyes will be ready next year. We can use Gonzalez/Cooney/Lyons as stop gap/injury replacement 5th inning eater.
Lackey/Burhle or some FA bottom feeder pitcher is not acceptable. We need a top #2 at least pitcher. Spend some of that new cable money in 2017 to pay for that pitcher.
