With Buster Olney taking today off, I had to work harder and go directly to the St. Louis Dispatch for an update on the Matt Holliday situation. The best I see is this:
"Boras is believed to be seeking an eight-year deal for Holliday, a length of contract some interested teams like Boston are reluctant to match. A source familiar with the talks said the Cardinals have not been resistant to a contract that could reach eight years."
8 years for a 30-year-old LF in the NL seems like something that won't be a major concern until the middle of the next decade. Is that too far in the future to worry about paying a 36-year-old $18MM per year for another three years?
