Or flip it the other way - if I'm the Cardinals, the LAST thing I want is to have to sit on another season of the disastrous Brett Cecil or Dexter Fowler contracts. Take my money, Dex - just be gone.
The ripple effects would trickle down through all levels of baseball. I just don't see any way to press pause on this thing for a year in any manner that doesn't do massive damage to the players specifically.

As a Dodgers fan....it ****ing sucks knowing we gave up three players for basically nothing.
