Saxon from the Athletic was a guest on a podcast that I heard yesterday.
He said the Cardinals are locked into giving Fowler a chance at the starting job next year. But, it may only be for spring training if he doesn't light it up.
He thinks with the new hitting coaching staff that there will be increases in everyone's OBP% and decrease in strikeouts.
Boras is asking for 12 years/$500 million for Harper. Not getting any takers. Doesn't rule out Harper to the Cardinals if the price comes down. He was told that Dewitt flew out to Vegas this week after publicly saying he wasnt going. No one knew before hand, did no public events. His source tells him off the record that he did meet with Boras. Since it was off the record, he cant report it but he can say this is the rumor. Host asks him, but, you believe it, right? Saxon: without a doubt.
