A) There's nothing in it the farm system anyway. B) Teams aren't going ham for Coors hitters anymore, especially not those with an injury history and massive home/rd splits.

8/185; a tick over $23 million/yr.
I just can't get too bent out of shape over losing the guy at that figure.

I'd prefer they not, but I don't think they'll sit pat.

I suppose the terms will tell the tale. By all accounts the Cardinals were aggressive so I can't imagine they'll be terribly team friendly. Like I said - I just don't care. He's not a franchise altering player.

Glad it's over. Now go sign Upton/Davis and get a SP like Cueto (that doesn't cost a pick). We are still a 80~ win team. Cubs are going to be scary good for a while. Better us getting used to it. Now Cards front office better start getting more aggressive in time with the arms race.

Maybe Dewitt can buy a small island with the amount of available cash he will pocket this upcoming season. But to be fair I will give them the benefit of the doubt unless they start to suck.
Gotta laugh at some of the Card fans on Twitter having a breakdown. Sucks to lose Heyward buts it's not like we lost Pujols in his prime. Last edited by kcpasco; 12-11-2015 at 03:31 PM.. |

Damn if he gets better he hits the FA market again at 29. If he sucks, he is set for life.

Upton's hot and cold streaks would drive me insane.

Look at what has happened to salaries in the last year. What if this continues for another 3 years? Don't blame him for taking the opt-outs.
