Derrick Goold with the St. Louis Dispatch:
"The wait might have been worth it for the Cardinals, as the club and free-agent outfielder Matt Holliday are working toward an agreement that multiple sources described as gaining momentum and potentially is the largest ever offered by the franchise....Boras has been seeking an eight-year contract with an average salary that compares with the $18-million salaries Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee currently make and exceeds the $16.5-million salary Jason Bay reportedly just signed with the Mets."
Largest until Pujols' contract. I can't wait to see how the mid-market Cardinals construct a roster in 2013 with Holliday and Pujols taking up $40+MM of payroll.
Add-in SP Adam Wainwright and...of wait, I'm not going to project AW that far in the future because an arm injury takes him from $15MM to incentive-laden deal.
