They should have tried to re-up him when he approached them three years ago, but a 9 year deal for a 32 year old player is more than fair.

It's sickening to see someone throw away a legacy for money.

It is a job, grow up.

I don't think anyone would have a problem if he didn't lie and just said he was gonna chase the money.

Hey genius, the difference was $44MM, they weren't asking him to play for free in Stl.

He mortgaged his legacy as one of the true "good guys' in baseball for $4MM a year and also trashed his Stl legacy.

Doesn't seem to be worth $4MM more a year when you have already made over $114MM not ioncluding endorsments and were garunteed a minimum of another $200MM.
